No player is more important to Adelaide’s chances of winning the Hyundai A-League Grand Final than playmaker Marcelo Carrusca. He oozes class.

The Argentine adds that dash of class and creativity that has the Reds humming on the ball. And United will need that on Saturday night for their Semi Final with the Sky Blues. 

After a good showing in the Elimination Final against Brisbane, “Celo” will be better for having that game time as he looks to get back to 100% fitness following a stint on the sidelines.
