EVEN he admits it has been a whirlwind introduction to professional football, but Mariners midfielder Glen Trifiro is hopeful he can stake a further claim to a long-term deal with the Mariners against Beijing Guoan.
With the A-League champions keen to build on last week's defeat of Sanfrecce Hiroshima and garner more points in the Chinese capital, Trifiro has a more personal goal as well, having signed initially on a short-term contract on loan from state league side Sydney United.
The Fox Football Podcast is back to discuss another big week of football. Adam Peacock and Brenton Speed hold the fort in the studio, and are joined by Adelaide United's Bruce Djite to review the weekend action, while Miron Bleiberg joins us for the first time to preview the round ahead. Daniel Garb is on deck as usual, with Manchester United, relegation and El Clasico top of the agenda.
The brother of Wanderers midfielder Jason, Glen is aware that A-League chances are at a premium for a 24-year-old — hence his determination to grab this one.
"I owe a lot to (Mariners) boss Phil Moss, he's the only person who's given me an opportunity in the A-League," Trifiro said. "To score at the weekend (against Newcastle) was a bit of a reward for working hard, I felt.
"Really I just want to make the most of every minute I get.
"Now I've come from a part-time environment to playing two games a week plus all the travel, and it's a lot easier to come into a team with such a good structure and such a good environment."
Slightly flattered by the 3-1 scoreline against Newcastle, the Central Coast know they have to replicate against Beijing the discipline and ruthlessness that earned the win against Sanfrecce.
"Watching that game from the bench, I maybe expected a little more discipline and energy from a Japanese team — I guess it's possible they took it a bit too easy," Trifiro said.
"Now we've caused that upset, maybe people will pay us a bit more attention.
"At the weekend it wasn't the best performance, and we know that any mistakes will be more harshly punished at this level."
