“The break gave us an opportunity to strategically plan for our opponents by identifying and addressing our own shortcomings. We also worked around tactics to amass the target points in Cape Town.
“Our system of play allows players to be flexible and adequately guided towards offensive play mixed with high-intensity type of approach. We are cautiously defending and trying hard to convert a host of chances created,” said Jelusic.
“I have been enjoying working with these players since day one. Their commitment humbles me daily, and that is the spirit that keeps us going as a team,” he added.
