Australian football superstar Tim Cahill is expecting a hot reception when he steps out in Melbourne City colours in the A-League for the first time on Saturday night.Cahills first domestic competition match on home soil since 1997 is a Melbourne Victory home game at Etihad Stadium.Hes been a local crowd favourite throughout his 94-game career with the Socceroos, but Cahills played in heated local derbies around the world too - and hes ready for whats in store.The derby is going to be exciting ... I think its going to be my first taste of Australian supporters booing me, Cahill said at the Fox Sports A-League launch on Wednesday.But its to be expected.Im not expecting a nice welcome; Im not expecting them to give me a clap in the same way they didnt when I played at Liverpool when I played there (with Everton).But thats football - thats the beauty of the game that we play - it comes with the territory.Theres only one way that I quiet any fan ... and thats through my football.Cahill is fit and keen to be on the field from the opening whistle for his A-League debut.The 36-year-old, a substitute for the Socceroos in Tuesday nights 1-1 draw with Japan, says hes ready to play substantial minutes in the big clash.Everybody loves to start, especially in these games. Our intent for this game ... will be pretty clear after the first five minutes, he said.Ive been doing extras in (Socceroos) camp and the physios have been all over me, but I woke up fine - I didnt do too much physically (against Japan).Im like any other player - if you leave me out there for 90 minutes, Ill play. But thats something Im going to leave in their hands.But I feel great; I honestly do feel good. I felt (good) mobility-wise and football-wise ... I couldnt be happier.Cahill is bullish on the squad that City coach John van t Schip has assembled, but stopped short of declaring it ready to break through for a maiden A-League title.Its going to be a big year for us ... hopefully well win something but it cant be the first thing on our minds, he said.When you look at winning something you look ahead 20 games or more, but if you really want to win something you just have to look at the next weekend.
