“This season, we’ve already won the MTN8, so if we finish higher than last season, that’s progress.”
Saturday’s victory came as some relief to Tembo after the last three league games had all ended in 0-1 defeats.
“We are coming out of a very difficult phase after losing games. The only thing I could do was keep encouraging the guys, it wasn’t really about performance. “We were creating opportunities but not scoring goals. I knew that it would turn around and we have now managed to dig ourselves out of that.“But this time of the season is very tough. There are no easy games and when you look at our recent defeats, we lost to Stellenbosch and Golden Arrows.
"Those were teams below us, so you got to give respect to all the teams in the league because at this juncture of the season, it’s dog eat dog."We have to give our next opponent the respect they deserve and focus properly. That’s why I’m saying we have to take it one game at a time.”
