KAGISO – VERY GOOD BUT INFERIOR TO THE LAST GAME – VERY ACTIVE AND MOBILE, ORGANIZED MANY OFENSIVE ACTIONS AND WENT TO THE ATTACK TO FININSH

TOUCH – AVERAGE – HIGH WORK RATE BUT NOT GOOD TECHNICALLY LIKE IN THE PREVIOUS GAME. HOLDED EXCESSIVELLY THE BALL – BUILT A BIG CHANCE TO SCORE BUT KICKED OUT

DID NOT PLAY: LAWRENCE – IWE – BAFU – TEBOKO

ATTENDED THE CAMP BUT DID NOT THE 18: SHOES (FIRST TIME) AND BENNET

EVALUATION: GOOD OVERALL PARTICIPATION DUE TO THE LEVEL OF THE OPPONENT. WE HAD TO WORK HARD TO PREVENT THEY CONTROL THE GAME. GOOD DEFENSIVELLY, CONSISTENT, PREVENTING SHORT OPORTUNITIES FOR THE OPPONENT, CONTROLING THE BEST PLAYERS. ABOVE AVERAGE OFENSIVE JOB, MANY GOOD ACTIONS BUT QUALITY FINISHING (ASSISTENCES, CROSSES, FINISHING) MAINLY DUE TO HOLDING THE BALL IN THE MIDLE, AND PLAY FASTER THEN NECESSARY IN THE ATTACK.

WE COULD HAVE GOT MORE OFENSIVE OPORTUNIITIES IN THE CASE OF FREEDING THE STRICKERS, BUT IT COULD COST A LOT AGAINST A GOOD OPPONENT. THE GOT POINT, CONSIDERING THE OTHER GAMES AND POSSIBILITY OF RESULTS WAS NOT BAD AT ALL.

AMAZULU PRODUCED GOOD AND NICE FOOTBALL AND THE BEST BUILT OPORTUNITIES.

A LOT OF IMPROVEMENT STILL TO GO WITH WORK AND PATIENCE

THE SQUAD IS WORKING WEEL, I N THE LIMIT OR ABOVE, EVEN.

IMPORTANT START TO PLAN CELTIC ON APRIL THE 1^st

IMPORTANT TO RE-FOCUS IN THE ABSA CUP (SANTOS GAME AT HOME)

FUNDAMENTAL TO SEE A TAPE FROM SANTOS AND THE TAPE OF OUR LAST GAMES

IT IS TIME TO RELEASE PIWE AND ANDILE.

IT IS TIME TO REGISTER THE PLAYER MAC DONALD, THE TRAINER CARLINHOS AND ALEXANDRE (GOALKEEPER C.)
