Former Bula Boys Head Coach Christophe Gamel recently led MacArthur FC, based in Sydney, to victory in the Australia Cup, securing a 1-0 win over Melbourne Victory FC. Gamel took charge of the team’s defense, which successfully withstood the pressure from a formidable opponent.
In an interview, Gamel highlighted the strength of their defense and praised the goalkeeper for maintaining a clean sheet. “Our defense did not break, and our goalkeeper did his part,” he stated. The team effectively utilized counter-attacks, showcasing clinical precision at critical moments and effectively neutralizing their opponents’ offensive pushes.
Gamel attributed this success not only to the players but also to the dedication of the coaching and management staff. He noted, “The players applied the game plan remarkably, credit to them as we were not the favorites. We may be smaller in comparison, but in football, anything is possible.”
In addition to celebrating their cup victory, Gamel extended his best wishes to the Bula Boys for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers in Papua New Guinea. He expressed confidence in the team’s capabilities and pride in the players he had worked with during his time as head coach. “They have a strong group of talented players, and I have full faith they will do well and win games,” he said. Gamel concluded with a hopeful message, wishing the team success in their quest to qualify for the World Cup and to bring honor to their country.
This victory not only marks a significant achievement for Gamel and MacArthur FC but also serves as a source of inspiration for football in Fiji. The positive impact of his leadership continues to resonate as he supports the Bula Boys in their journey on the international stage.
