Melbourne Victory flyer Marco Rojas has put his scintillating form down to his tough time in Europe, saying it had matured him as a player and a person. Wholesale Football North Carolina Jerseys .The 24-year-old rejoined Victory this season after three difficult years at German club Stuttgart and he hit the ground running.In Melbournes stunning 6-1 win over Wellington, Rojas scored two goals in a performance fitting with his status of A-League player of the year in 2012-13.Ahead of their Saturday clash with frontrunners Sydney FC, who havent conceded a goal, Rojas says he has learned from the overseas experience.What I learnt over there - Ive become a bit more direct and Im using that stuff now in these games and Im on a bit of a good run and, hopefully, that continues, he said.Going over to Europe, I had to come out of my shell a little bit.Youre on your own and you have to do what you can to succeed so I had to change quickly.Rojas also put his good form down to his blossoming combination with striker Besart Berisha, who nailed three goals in the Monday night thumping.The duo combined for 103 touches, six shots and their five goals.Hes always in the right place and, half the time, you dont even need to look - you know when youve got the ball on the wing where hes going to be and you can just play it across, Rojas said.The New Zealand winger said Victory had drawn plenty of confidence from their big win over the Phoenix after a stuttering start to the season.Melbourne looked extra sharp when playmaker James Troisi came on for the final half-hour in his first match back since last months collar-bone surgery.Rojas said they would need to be firing to take down Sydney at Allianz Stadium.Sydney have been flying but we will take confidence from the last game that we will be able to do a good job.Its going to be a very tough game because they havent conceded and have scored lots.

TORONTO -- As the New York Yankees run production dwindles, so do their faint chances of earning an American League wild-card spot.They were shut out for the second game in a row Friday, this time 9-0 by the Toronto Blue Jays, who tightened their grip on one of the wild-card spot. It followed a 2-0 loss by the Yankees to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.The Yankees have been blanked 12 times this season, with five coming in September.Its not what you want, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Its frustrating. We just werent able to get anything going. We havent swung the bats particularly well the last couple of nights.The Blue Jays have been the team that was having trouble hitting and the second game of the four-game series with the Yankees on Saturday could provide further indication if the bats are back.The Blue Jays have had 10 or more hits in five of their past eight games. In their previous 12 games, they had reached 10 or more hits only twice.Despite the win Friday, they are still only 8-12 in September and have a slim one-game advantage over the Detroit Tigers for the first wild-card spot. The Yankees slipped to four games behind the Tigers, who occupy the second wild-card spot.Things are kind of slipping away at this point, Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner said. Were not out of it but were definitely not in a good position. Its frustrating.It was a different story in the Toronto clubhouse.That was fun, said Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis, who doubled and singled to improve his batting average to .308. If we could score nine every game, thats definitely ideal. I think its what this offense is capable of doing.

He ended his 17-game hitting streak in the 2-1, 12-inning loss to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. He did walk in that game and after the game Friday, he has reached base in 19 straight games.
