YOU could mount a strong argument to say that has been the most consistent player in the A-League for several years, no matter what machinations have gone on behind him at Adelaide United.

But six months ago even Galekovic had had enough, adding to the list of compelling United rants with an indictment of the club's culture.

So maybe the Wanderers should beware the fact that when United hit Parramatta Stadium tonight, he seems a happy man again as Adelaide are reborn under Spanish coach Josep Gombau.

Prepared to dig in for the long haul, Galekovic likes what he can see from the goalmouth. It promises a fascinating clash of style against Western Sydney.

"The coach is a big part of it — he's really positive and has complete belief in the style he wants us to play," Galekovic said.

"We might not have had the results yet, but he's adamant we will focus on possession and playing the game the right way.

"When you're trying to build something, it has to start with foundations and that's what he's trying to put in place.

"The boys are enjoying it, you can see — trying to keep the ball is the most enjoyable way to play. When you start hoofing it the midfielders tend to lose interest — instead we're keeping it on the deck and his coaching is all about giving options to the man on the ball."

In the back of his mind, Galekovic admits that — as per all the incumbents — he's waiting to see how fast and how wide the Ange Postecoglou revolution will change the Socceroos.

Having shone at the East Asian Cup, he admits that another World Cup shot is a driving force.

"I guess all the boys are a bit in limbo and hopefully we'll all find out what the future holds for us when the next squad is announced," he said.

"On a personal level, I know it can be hard to get noticed for the Socceroos in the A-League but increasingly we've seen players given a go who are playing in Australia.

"The fact that Ange Postecoglou has come from the A-League and knows it well, hopefully that will make things a bit different too, and certainly my personal goal for this year is Brazil.

"I can only worry about what I do week in, week out for Adelaide and hope that's enough."

He does of course have reason to want to do particularly well at Parramatta Stadium, after the 6-1 drubbing United received last December.

"The last time we played there was a game I'd like to forget," he said. Wanderers are very disciplined, very structured and press well.

"In fact we played the Mariners who are champions last week and now we've got the minor Premiers so it's a tough couple of games.

"But we did well against the Wanderers in pre-season, and I thrive on the atmosphere that will be there — as a player you should love big games and every time Western Sydney play it feels like a big game thanks to that crowd."
