All's well among Reds despite walkout
- Wed Feb 23 14:35:02 EST 2011
REDS coach Rini Coolen and captain Travis Dodd have both downplayed Cassio's training walkout yesterday.
The pair declared all is well in the Adelaide United camp ahead of Sunday's elimination final clash with Gold Coast.
The Reds have endured a bizarre start to their finals campaign - first Paul Reid declining to play last week against Wellington and then Cassio's early departure from training yesterday in protest at some teammates training "like schoolboys".
But Dodd said it was simply a matter of the Brazilian left-back letting off some steam.
"With Cassio's situation, I'd rather see him fired up like that than walk around and not care what the other players are doing," Dodd said.
"It's good that he gets fired up. We'd finished the session anyway, so I would hardly say that he walked out of training."
