ALL-STARS coach Ange Postecoglou will drum home a single message to his patchwork squad this week, that they must leave "no regrets on the pitch" by the close of Saturday's showpiece encounter with Manchester United.

Conceding that there is limited tactical effect to be had on such a disparate group, Postecoglou will emphasise the need to make the most of the experience of facing the Premier League champions in only their second game under new manager David Moyes.
The All-Stars had their first serious training session on Sunday under Postecoglou's tutelage, with the seconded Victory boss "pleasantly surprised" at the levels of fitness among a group still in the early stages of a lengthy pre-season.
"To be honest, the key message is about making the most of the experience," Postecoglou said. "It's a consistent theme I want the players to take on board, not to reach the final whistle on Saturday night and have wasted a second of what is a unique occasion.

"Really, if you get sidetracked from the football by the atmosphere or who it is you're playing then you won't be likely to create the sort of moments that hopefully will live with you forever, and that would be a huge regret.
"So far the players are in good spirits and in decent shape too. If I had one concern in advance, it was how the players would shape up given the different stages of their pre-seasons they're all at, but I'm happy with where they're at."

Postecoglou insisted that having such a short time to work with a collegiate squad "is part of the challenge and the excitement. If I could make a huge difference in a week, it would kind of make a mockery of what I've done in the rest of my career.
"What's in our favour is there are some excellent footballers in the group, and a lot of good experience, so they tend to pick things up a bit quicker."
With his opposite number arriving in Sydney yesterday under a little extra pressure in the wake of a defeat in Thailand, Postecoglou warned that David Moyes's ascension to the post held for so long by Sir Alex Ferguson could present a unique challenge.
"Certainly Sir Alex had the highest standards and there wouldn't have been any risk of complacency.
"There's no doubt Moyes and the players are under a high level of scrutiny with the change of manager and the whole world watching to see how they go. I have no doubt their motivation will be huge."
