Speaking after the victory over the Red Castle, the former Orlando Pirates head coach reiterated that while it feels good to be top of the table again, the job is not finished yet.
"We achieved a good result. We played a good first half, but we were unable to score goals, and it was difficult for the players in terms of the final touch. We talked about all of this at half-time, and I asked them to maintain their focus and wait for the right time," he said, as per Le Site Info Sports.
"We knew that this match would be our last chance, and it was a good experience for me and it is good for us to remain calm and not celebrate now, because we do not know what can happen in football."
