  4. What it's like playing on a $150k a year scholarship in the US | with A-League Women new signing Isabella Chidiac
The A-League is back, and OlanTekkers reckons anyone saying it’s
dead clearly wasn’t at the Sydney Derby. The atmosphere was
unreal, even if the football didn’t quite live up to it. Olan and
Kat Haddad break down the opening round, the Sydney Derby
stalemate, the chaos of the F3 Derby and why the derbies matter
so much for the league.

Then it’s over to the Premier League and the mess at Manchester
United. Is Michael Carrick really the man to turn things around,
or are the problems much bigger than the manager? Later, Western
Sydney Wanderers midfielder Isabella Chidiac joins Olan to talk
about her football journey, playing with boys growing up, earning
a full US college scholarship worth $150k a year, balancing elite
football with a pre-med degree, and why breaking into
professional football as an international player isn’t as simple
as being good enough.

She also opens up about returning to Australia, the financial
realities of the women’s game, her Matildas dream and the
motivation that keeps her chasing it.
