With a contingent from English Premier League club Liverpool at the match to discuss a potential off-season game in Australia, as well as scouts from Italian giants Juventus, Rojas turned on his sensational best.
Postecoglou believes how the A-League's hottest property handled the pressure shows he has the right people guiding his career. And his coach believes he has developed the mental fortitude as well as the on-field ability to excel when he inevitably moves to Europe.
