    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano wants his team to play smart in tonight's A-League contest against the Roar in Moreton Bay


    The 3rd-placed Roar are the most carded team in the A-League this season...but Italiano doesn't want his team to match their physicality...he's urging them to move the ball around cleverly.



    Tonight's match starts at seven o'clock .
