SYDNEY — History dictates the odds are already stacked against Sydney winning any silverware this A-League season but star recruit Alessandro Del Piero says the Sky Blues are on the right track. No club in the competition's seven-year history has gone on to win a trophy after losing their first two games of the season.
Sydney FC find themselves in that invidious position despite providing some good entertainment for the 35,000-plus spectators who packed into Allianz Stadium for Saturday's 3-2 home loss to Newcastle, having gone down 2-0 in a shocker against Wellington a week earlier.
