... And maybe it does suit the style that we want to play, that I want to play. It's probably a little more slower in terms of the build up and that probably suits us whereas the A-League is a little bit more over the top and hustle and bustle."
Vidmar also credits the inclusion of the new signings as breathing new life into the squad, most notably the performances of creative Argentine play-maker Marcos Flores and front-man Sergio van Dijk. The Reds boss believes it extends further than just on the pitch but also to the training track with competition for places very high.
"Yeah they've been good, obviously Sergio and Marcos and you know we've had another two, (Nigel) Boogaard and (Adam) Griffiths who unfortunately up until now haven't had any time," he said.
"All the players know that they're under pressure to keep their positions in the team and they've really responded well. Those boys have come in, understand the situation, where they're sitting at the moment. They're still going out there training every day, really trying to perform hard and push those players in the team and try to knick their spot, so I think that's really healthy."
