Auckland FC has begun their life as a professional football club in the best way possible.

More than halfway through the season, the teams its at the top of the A-League table, and talk of going all the way to the end and claiming the win in their first season is getting louder and louder.

Head Coach Steve Corica joined Piney to discuss the team's early success, and whether there's any added pressure from the team's incredible start.

“We’re in a good position, still a long way to go, but the aim was still to win a trophy,” he said. 

“I think, y’know, the players believe they can do it now – took them a little while to start believing that, but y’know, they’re a good team.”
