Dondol co-coach, Vincent Rammoni has come out to reveal some valuable lessons his side have learned during their Nedbank Cup run.
"I think the Nedbank Cup helped us as a technical team and our players who are featuring in our journey to gain promotion. Now we are able to handle a lot of aspects better than we were doing before participating here," said Rammoni as quoted by The Citizen. https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/local-soccer/class-is-in-session-for-dondol-in-nedbank-cup-ahead-of-pirates-clash/
"For instance, if you check, before playing the Nedbank Cup it was so difficult to play without conceding goals in the league.
"We were winning our matches but with a margin of 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, we were mostly conceding. So, in the Nedbank, we learned that we need to be more ruthless with the chances we created and we need to be a team that doesn’t concede goals in our matches, that’s one aspect that we learned. Because we realised how difficult it was to score against SuperSport United and AmaZulu FC."
