Dario Vidosic hopes to impress the Socceroos' coach Holger Osieck with another top Adelaide United performance Adelaide's Dario Vidosic is hoping to impress Socceroos coach Holger Osieck. DARIO Vidosic is ready to send a message to Socceroos' coach Holger Osieck with a masterclass performance for Adelaide United against Central Coast at Hindmarsh today. Vidosic has quietly been putting together a string of quality performances and Reds' coach Michael Valkanis expects him to take his game to another level against the Mariners. "These are the types of games he really lives for," Valkanis said. He's that type of character - he likes the big occasion and I'm sure he'll be looking forward to the game because it's like a final. Valkanis felt Vidosic was unlucky to miss out on a place in the Socceroos' squad for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Oman in Sydney. "I think he probably could have got called up for this last game - I think he's done well enough to have done that," Valkanis said. We don't produce many creative players like Dario ... but he's got ample time now with the way he's been going to show he deserves to be in the Socceroos. The Reds' reliance on the attacking midfielder will increase today, given the absence of Marcelo Carrusca through injury. Valkanis said it was the work Vidosic was doing off the ball that had impressed him most. "What's pleased me about Dario is his effort off the ball and how much of that team work he's doing," he said. On the ball, we know he's capable of winning games and when he's on song, the team lifts as well. I think he's done really well this year. What he's done in the last four weeks will help him get back in the Socceroos and that's the work off the ball. Goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic is in the Socceroos' squad and will miss the clash, forcing the elevation of Paul Izzo to the starting 11. Striker Bruce Djite is also back in the matchday squad and will resume off the bench. But the Reds' formation is expected to remain the same as it has been since Valkanis introduced two holding midfielders in an away win against Melbourne Heart on March 11. "This will be the third game in a row where we don't change too much in the 11," he said. That's good because we haven't had that consistency over a long period of time in the league. Despite Western Sydney's rise to the top of the table, Valkanis still sees Central Coast as the benchmark and knows what a win today will do for his player's belief ahead of finals. "It will give us a boost of confidence," he said. We've struggled in the past to meet their physicality and their fitness. It's something we have spoken about but you don't want to dwell on it because you don't want it to become something that plays on your mind. I think it's just a bit of focus.
