James Troisi is proof that life as a professional footballer doesnt always run smoothly.Since his last A-League match for Melbourne Victory two years ago, the precociously-talented attacker has scored Australias winner at the Asian Cup, played his club football in three different regions and left each one for very different reasons.Now theres nowhere hed rather be than back at Victory under coach Kevin Muscat, preparing for the season ahead.Troisi moved abroad as a teenager but made his name after returning to Melbourne.Brought to the club by Ange Postecoglou in 2013, Troisi was one of the last men standing as Victory embarked on a taxing dual A-League and Asian Champions League campaign.Top-scoring for the club in both competitions under Muscat after Postecoglou left for the national team job, Troisi set off for greater challenges.He found them.Ive had to put up and deal with a lot of things do with football and outside of football my entire career, he said.Things people dont really see, that we have to go through as footballers. It is hard at times.The 28-year-old enjoyed a solid year in Belgium before taking up a lucrative deal with Saudi giants Al Ittihad.Four managers, with different ideas and favourites, in four months eventually pushed Troisi out the door and to the Chinese Super League.After his new paymasters didnt take well to an ankle injury, Troisi said he had his heart set on returning to the last place it all worked.And to the last coach for whom it all clicked.Troisi said Muscat had been an ever-present in his life, even after leaving the club.We have kept in touch since I left, every couple of months hed call me or send me a text, he said.Hes been fantastic. He was calling me pretty much every second day in China.The number one lesson Troisi has learned; in football, relationships are everything.The coach has to want you. And Musky made that quite clear, he said.It made it an easy decision (to return) and were getting along very well.Now Troisis Victory journey will continue and he hopes he can battle back into Postecoglous plans as well.The South Australian has just one competitive Socceroos start since the Asian Cup and wants a return into the Australian squad.Ive been a big part of the Socceroos and what weve achieved and what we want to do, he said.Im confident my football will speak for itself and Ill be back in a couple of months.But first and foremost its club football. So Victory first.Wholesale Adidas Stan Smith . P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night.

He feared Penn State, with four linebackers hurt, might not be able to stage a competitive practice before another hard-running team in Minnesota (3-0, 0-0) this week. Its still a concern as he looks to avoid his first 0-2 Big Ten start.In my 22 years of doing this, Ive never been a part of a team thats lost all three of our starting linebackers, Franklin said. Ive been around teams that have lost this guy for a game or lost this guy for two games or lost this guy maybe for a season, but to lose all of them for a significant amount of time at the same time, Ive never been a part of that.The injury bugs bitten deeper, too.Backup linebacker Jan Johnson was felled with an unspecified season-ender on Saturday and Franklin said the team is dealing with other ailments not noticeable from watching Saturdays game. Star Nyeem Wartman-White is also out for the rest of the year and Franklin gave no strong indication fellow starters Brandon Bell and Jason Cabinda could return soon.Its all forced Franklin to consider scaling back practices much earlier than mid-October, when hes usually done so.He planned to meet with defensive coordinator Brent Pry in order to determine the best practice tempos to protect healthy bodies, whether or not to move more players to reserve linebacker roles or considering using Bell and Cabinda in minimal capacities if they can.Thats the decision you have to make. Is it holding them out of practice completely and going full speed with everybody else? Franklin said. Or is it modifying practice to allow them to geet some quality work in practice as well when youre pretty confident that that guy is going to be able to play on Saturday?Franklin is hoping to improve his defenses versatility by moving linebackers around this week.ddddddddddddophomores Jake Cooper and Manny Bowen are expected to drill at all three linebacker spots after starting on the outside the last two weeks. Middle man Brandon Smith will likely make his second career start after the former walk-on was ejected from the Michigan game for targeting on the first play of the second quarter. That ejection was detrimental to a group that hadnt played much together.Koa Farmer, who was recruited as a safety before he switched to linebacker and back to safety again, has worked with the linebackers this season. He played his most snaps on defense against Michigan as did true freshman Cam Brown who is also expected to see a bigger role.I havent been on a team thats been through so many injuries, Farmer said. But at this point its just the next man up mentality and getting young guys in the game, getting those guys experience for everyone so they can be ready.Penn State will have to be prepared for Minnesotas hard-charging run game or risk big problems. The Gophers are averaging just over 228 rushing yards per game with tailbacks Rodney Smith and Kobe McCrary. Due to injuries and inexperience up front, Penn State is allowing just over 213 rushing yards per game and continued struggles could potentially spell disaster for a team looking to turn around a disappointing start.These next two weeks are huge for our program and huge for where this weekend will take us, tight end Mike Gesicki said. I think that we all understand that and we all kind of see the big picture. ' ' '
