Robertson focused on Cardiff after Socceroos setback

Cardiff City midfielder Alex Robertson, who scored six goals last season as the club secured promotion, says his focus now is on helping the team build on that success. Last year, Robertson's future seemed uncertain as he was dropped from the matchday squad until late October and struggled to establish himself under manager Brian Barry-Murphy.

However, he returned from his summer break determined to make an impact. Robertson, a three-cap Australian, believes his versatility and work ethic have made him a valuable asset to the club. He has featured in every friendly and even worn the captain's armband, indicating the trust placed in him by Barry-Murphy and his coaching staff.

Robertson acknowledges the disappointment of missing out on the World Cup but remains focused on contributing to the team's progress. He emphasizes the importance of self-belief and encourages the team to continue building on their achievements. A recent exhibition match against Roma showcased the Bluebirds' progress and hinted at the potential for another successful season.
