SYDNEY: Western United striker Besart Berisha has had quite the run in the A-League with four championship titles in seven years but even he is not quite sure if he is wide awake or living in a dream at the moment.
"What a story," the 35-year-old said after an Alessandro Diamanti freekick gave them a 1-0 victory over Brisbane Roar that propelled them into the semis. Western United were little more than a concept 18 months ago and Berisha was one of three veteran players, including Diamanti and defender Andrew Durante, signed by coach Mark Rudan to provide them with experience."It's huge to see where we started 12 months ago and where we are right now," said Rudan, the former coach of the Wellington Phoenix.
The Phoenix started the season with four successive losses under new coach Ufuk Talay and relocated to Australia twice so the league could finish the season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
