  4. Socceroo Aziz Behich on marking Messi, World Cup heartbreak and the A-League
He was let go from an A-League team after playing in a Grand
Final, literally told in the airport on the way home he no longer
had a place. He then went on to play at three World Cups. His
teammate Jackson Irvine says he's the most underrated Socceroo of
all time, and he's now one of the most experienced leaders at
Melbourne City FC. Aziz Behich has had quite the journey.

He joins OlanTekkers about the setbacks that shaped his career,
making it overseas, facing some of football’s biggest names and
the mentality that kept him going when things weren’t working
out. He also relives his famous chance against Argentina,
explains why it still haunts him, gives his honest take on the
hype around young Socceroos and Australian football, and shares
what he thinks the A-League needs to do to keep growing.
