Toivonen's tip on how to sell the A-League

The Swedish star has seen the best and the worst the competition has to offer

From playing on a disastrous cricket pitch to an end-of-season dead rubber match, Ola Toivonen's patience has been tested in his first A-League season with Melbourne Victory.

The Swedish attacker, who spent his entire career in Europe before moving to Australia this season, concedes the competition he's found himself in could use some work.

Whether it's small crowds or poor pitches, Toivonen is adamant the A-League must be made to look more attractive if it's going to be able to sell itself to fans and potential players.
