Well done to the youngster a true product of the perth glory. Well done to the coaching staff.
Danze gets call from Young Socceroos
By Jonathan Cook
IF Perth Glory midfielder Anthony Danze is a little behind schedule, he is now starting to catch up.
After being overlooked in the initial squad for qualifying matches, the 19-year-old is not about to let slip an opportunity after being included in the final 20 for the world youth championship in the United Arab Emirates.
Though the Young Socceroos' preparations for the championship, which starts on November 27, did not get off to an ideal start on Tuesday, Danze has at least left his mark.
The former Joondalup and Australian Institute of Sport midfielder scored Australia's consolation in a 2-1 loss to Colombia in South Korea on Tuesday.
His ex-Glory teammate, defender David Tarka, who now plays for Nottingham Forest, was sent off late in the game.
Preparing for a big international tournament is not new to Danze, who played for Australia's under-17s at the world championships in Trinidad and Tobago in 2001.
It seemed only a matter of time before he progressed to bigger things.
But the battle to claim a regular spot with Glory has not been easy, and Danze does not mind admitting his career has not progressed quite as he had hoped.
But that could change if he continues to shine during the Young Socceroos preparations, and follows it up with a successful stint in the UAE.
Danze left to join the Australia squad last Saturday and could miss as many as another seven Glory games, depending on the national team's progress.
