“Besides that they’ve changed the squad a lot from the team that they were using before. They even changed the approach to a certain extent.
“They are no longer building from the back a lot ever since they played that match against us.
“They’ve conceded a goal from a high press, so now they’ve been playing a lot of long balls. They’ve been very direct in their play with two strikers and one 10 which is Mabena.”
