Verbal sprays at a heated Adelaide United training session Adelaide United captain Eugene Galekovic says the heated words shows the team's competitive spirit. IT got heated at Coopers Stadium on Tuesday when aggressive words were exchanged at the end of training but Adelaide United skipper Eugene Galekovic says players showing fighting spirit is exactly what the club needs now. Osama Malik was seemingly on the end of verbal sprays but Galekovic dismissed suggestions that pressure was getting to the eighth-placed Reds, given the side hasn't tasted victory since a round one win in October (3-1 over Perth Glory at Coopers Stadium). Bruce Djite and Jon McKain appeared to be the most vocal after the brisk session which became passionate during an internal game. "It's a good thing (heated words between players)," Galekovic said. It happens all the time. You try to build a winning mentality, the boys want to win on the training track and if they take that into the game it's good for the boys. But after Adelaide last weekend demonstrated it was on its way to changing the philosophy but lacked finesse and conditioning before fast-finishing Brisbane Roar beat the Reds 2-1 at Coopers Stadium, Galekovic said the side was edging closer to its philosophical destiny. "It's a process we always knew it would start off slow it's the system he's (coach Josep Gombau) trying to implement," he said. We believe we can turn the way that we've been playing around. You can see that in the last game we done well but we also need to chase results to make the results. I think if we keep playing like we did on the weekend we would have won eight or nine or 10 games if we played against any other team. Out of five games we've been leading we've dropped points but I don't know if it's concentration or whatever. But we have to get better and hold onto leads we have to try to finish teams off completely. That's one thing we have to get better at.
