This initiative has become a successful fortnightly engagement for Sky Blue Members and Fans to interact with Sydney FC players, coaches and staff. In two weeks (27 March) we will be back with another current Sky Blues player!
Here is a transcript of the 45 questions, with Joel Chianese-s answers.
Chris ?: Joel, what is the one main thing you have learnt off Alessandro?
#SydneyFanChat How well he can keep the ball in tight areas and how professional he is at training and in games
Zee: Joel Chianese. You are the cutest squad member, in my opinion. Who comes close to you
#SydneyFanChat Thanks, um @v_janjetovic AKA magic mike thinks he is pretty cute
Nurhayati Hashim: Big fans of yours. 🙂 Who would you compare your ability as a striker to?
#SydneyFanChat Not sure who I would compare myself to but it would be a striker who uses their speed to get in behind defences
Hi Joel! Love watching you play! Do you support an EPL club and if so which club?
#SydneyFanChat No I don’t support any team in particular but I love watching the league. I follow Roma in the Italian Serie A

#SydneyFanChat I like to have a good sleep the night before, relax the day of the game and have a big bowl of pasta at lunch
Patrice: Joel, Who is the Hardest a league defender you have come up against?
#SydneyFanChat It would either be Simon Colosimo or Andrew Durante
Nurhayati Hashim: Hi Joel, if you were to take a peno, do you go left/right? Or Panenka it? And why.

#SydneyFanChat Yeah there is a good chance in the near future

#SydneyFanChat Firstly to have an injury free and successful 13/14 season after that I will consider my options
Alex Wain: You’re all quick & talented youngsters, but what makes you a different player from Powell, Mallia & @YYau07?
#SydneyFanChat They are great young players, I think it is just about making the most of your opportunities when given the chance
David Moore: Joel, after a lot of injuries in preseason you must be relieved to be injury free and playing again
#SydneyFanChat Definitely, it was a bit frustrating but now I am enjoying my football – hopefully it stays that way
Luis Charalambous: Hey Joel, what is the main aspect of Melbourne’s game the boys will be aiming to contain this weekend?
#SydneyFanChat They have one of the best attacking combinations in the league, so we will be sure to be compact in defence

#SydneyFanChat Hopefully we get the win first, but one or two goals would be fantastic!
Haron Edejer: Who’s the quickest in the team? Thinking it’s either you or Yairo…
#SydneyFanChat I think you are right on the money there, Mallia is close as well – would be a good foot race
