Dondol: We won’t play as we did against AmaZulu and SuperSport.

 

Orlando Pirates should expect to face a different Dondol Stars side when they clash on Saturday 15 April in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinal at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

According to Dondol co-coach, Vincent Rammoni, they have prepared a special giant slaying pot for Pirates than what they dished out against SuperSport United and Amazulu FC. Dondol beat Amantsantsantsa 2-1 in the round of 32, before disposing of Usuthu in the last 16.

"Coming to Pirates, we won't play as we did against AmaZulu and SuperSport. We are now playing a different team that is using different personnel and have different qualities all-round,” Rammoni told the media in the Nedbank Cup press conference ahead of their game against Pirates.

"So, our principles will never change. We will be the same Dondol that played against both AmaZulu and SuperSport.

"But in terms of personnel, we will probably see few changes because we want to adopt few things within our game model."

Rammoni went on to emphasize that their main focus at the moment, is on winning promotion to the Motsepe Foundation Championship, even though they will not pass a chance to win the Nedbank Cup should an opportunity arise.

 

He also praised the quality of their squad, saying it makes it easy for them to change things around because everyone in the team knows how to get the work done.

 

“As I’ve said, the priority is to win the league and get into the playoffs and get promoted,” Rammoni told the media yesterday.

“That is the biggest goal that we are targeting. On how far we want to go in the Nedbank Cup, obviously, if chances are there for us to go and win it, we will take them.

“But one thing is we have a group of quality players. It’s always easy for us as coaches to make changes, rest some players and bring others as we believe that all the players that we’ve signed this season can get the job done.

“We are not being influenced by what happened in the Nedbank Cup. We are still the very same team that started the season with the very same objectives, and we are working on reaching them by winning the league.

“We are excited to have reached this level in the competition.”
