Over a year since he first pulled on a Melbourne Victory shirt, cult-hero Elvis Kamsoba finally has the goal that chased for so long.

“I just, I didn’t put pressure on myself anymore because people were always telling me, since last year, that you’ve got to get a goal, you’ve got to get a goal.
“And then in the end I just lost everything. If I score, I score if I don’t I don’t. That’s the way I’ve been playing my football, hoping that I’ll score, and it finally happened.”
Tuesday, it appears, was an occasion for firsts; Kamsoba’s goal putting the cherry on the sundae of Carlos Salvachúa’s first win since taking the interim Head Coach role following the departure of Marco Kurz.
With two games under his belt – Victory lost Salvachúa’s first game in charge against Adelaide United last week – the Spaniard now faces a jam-packed schedule of Sydney FC on Friday night, Japanese side Kashima Antlers in an ACL playoff next Tuesday and an away trip to Perth Glory next Saturday.
Facing the 2018/19 Champions, 2018 ACL Champions and 2018/19 Premiers represent a murderer’s row of challenges for the new Victory boss but in the spirit of iron sharpening iron, he has welcomed them as a chance to bed down his own principles on his new squad.
“I think he’s bringing his own structure,” Kamsoba said of Salvachúa. “Obviously we’ve had him for just a week and we’re trying to adapt very quickly. I think there’s a bit of a change.
“The change is just the rotations that we used to do. I reckon during trainings and during games we used to focus on doing the rotations instead of playing football and for the last maybe week we haven’t done the rotations we’ve just been playing football.
“We make the choices [to switch] ourselves.
“If you find yourself on that side you play that side. If you find yourself in the middle, you play that role.”
