Western United star Leo Lacroix says his team is yet to achieve anything in the A-League season so far.
United is on top of the table heading into their match against West Sydney Wanderers, after a strong first part to the seaon.
Speaking after being named an ambassador for United’s Foodbank Relief match, Lacroix said the team was happy with the season so far.
“We are happy,” he said.
“We deserve to be where we are, we are working hard every day.
“[But] we haven’t done anything, the season is still long. We have a very good coach to help us keep this intensity in training and to keep the intensity on the weekend.
Personally Lacroix said he had been happy with his performances at the club in his first season in Australia.
He joined United on a one-year deal after making a name for himself in Europe.
He said the competition was what he expected having spoke with his former teammate Dario Vidosic, who had played in the A-League previously.
“I’m working hard everyday to keep this performance up. I know I can do better also, every day when I wake up and I try to do my best to help my teammates and keep the team at the top of the league.
“My family are happy here and I’ll keep working and if we win something at the end of the season it will be the perfect choice.”
Lacroix said the playing group was full of quality players who wanted to continue to improve at this level.
“All the time we can do something better. Something different in attack, covering the ball and the last pass.
“Work on what we are learning with the coaches.”
Speaking about being named an ambassador for the Food Relief Round, Lacroix said he was thrilled to be able to help people in need.
“It is very good, when we can help other people,” he said.
“It is important to help people, when we can help them. This is just one way when we can help,
“In Brazil, we have a church and there is a pastor and every month he does things for the community that we would help.
“People sometimes find it difficult and if we can help with food and clothes to help make them happy, I feel the happiness.”
