Extra Supermarket Bula FC head coach Stephane Auvary has expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance in their opening match of the OFC Pro League season. However, he emphasizes the importance of adapting to the professional environment as a key focus for his players.
Auvary advises his team to have realistic expectations for the season, highlighting that the objective is not merely to win every match but to engage in long-term development within professional football. He stresses that maintaining professional standards both on and off the field is crucial.
He explained, “We just have to remind them, listen this is professionalism, this is your job, you cannot just give me three good sessions and feel like this is it. We are here for five months and for five months we will be working with that standard and level of expectation.” This mantra encapsulates his approach to fostering a mindset centered on growth and resilience.
Additionally, Auvary encourages his players to concentrate on their personal development goals and to remain impervious to outside criticism regarding their performance.
In an unexpected turn of events, their upcoming match against South Island United has been postponed, with the new date yet to be announced. This pause provides an opportunity for the team to reflect on their training and objectives, reinforcing their commitment to professionalism in preparation for future challenges.
