The rubber hits the road on Melbourne Citys season of delivery in Wellington on Saturday night, and coach John van t Schip hopes his teams fans are ready for the ride.Van t Schips are one of the favourites to bring home the A-League title after investing heavily in new players for their third season as City.But with investment comes turnover.And with turnover comes re-education.And with re-education, the Dutchman also hopes patience will be shown as he attempts to forge a group of strong players into a strong team.Theres been a lot of players, 11 of 22 players, that are new so its going to be a gelling process, he said.Its now about hard work, gelling, having a good attitude.We have competition for spots ... and hopefully we can start with some good results.The biggest new signing, Tim Cahill, wont feature against the Nix as he spends the week on Socceroos duty.Phoenix have their own unavailabilities, with a key quartet - Kosta Barbarouses, Michael McGlinchey, Louis Fenton and Andrew Durante - away with the All Whites.While Cahill will have no impact on the Wellington pitch, van t Schip hopes hes already helped Citys cause by raising the stakes.There s been a lot of attention. This is normal because Tim has been a great figure in Australian football, he said.Its one of the reasons we got him in, its what we want.We want to promote the game and get the players in that can excite the audience.Van t Schip also has another Socceroo at his disposal again - Ivan Franjic - after the right-back was cleared to resume training after being diagnosed with a heart condition.But he wont be travelling to New Zealand, or figure in the round two derby, and will instead complete his own pre-season workout.His return to fitness means that City are also entering a season bereft of the injury concerns that have dogged the club in the past.Only Corey Gameiro (ACL) is a long-term absentee, clearing off another reason for Citys failings in previous campaigns.Could this be Citys year?Van t Schip is happy to welcome the attention and the expectation.Were not going to hide, he said.We want to win silverware. We have the selection and the squad to be up there.We want to be a club that will be on top every year ... and were up for the challenge. Cheap Nike Nike Zoom Online .
