“We saw a lot of positives in our training matches against very strong Dutch opponents,”
“The players have started to understand the way I want them to play and they jell well as a strong unit.”
The team finished 9th on the log with 32 points, 8 draws, 8 wins and 12 loses.Even though the team failed to make it to the top 8, they finished the league with a positive after ending a 10 year drought of no trophy when they beat their all time rivals, Orlando Pirates in KZN.
The win got them a spot in the CAF Confederation tournament which coach Nabi says he is ready for.
He also said that the long travel for the pre-season matches was also in preparations for the Confederation tournament.
