    Embattled Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano is expecting his players to fire up this weekend

    Embattled Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano is expecting his players to fire up this weekend


    The Nix were pumped 5-1 by the Melbourne Victory on Monday...and are in Brisbane to tackle the 3rd-placed Roar tomorrow night.

    Italiano isn't certain if he'll start the same eleven so they can redeem themselves...but he is expecting a response.
