Galaxy coach predicts turnaround in fortunes

TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic says he is not concerned his club have made a losing start to the new season and predicted they would begin a turnaround at the weeked, when they host Chippa United in the Carling Knockout.

Galaxy meet Chippa at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday in their first round tie, having lost 2-1 to the Eastern Cape club at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha in their last outing three weekends ago.

Galaxy have lost all four matches they have played this season – one in the MTN8 quarterfinal at the start of August and their opening three matches of the new Betway Premiership season.

And so, it begins!

Today, the second cup competition of the 2024/2025 PSL season starts.

“I'm absolutely sure that we will bounce back, because this team have the ability to avoid staying too long in this kind of negativity zone where we are now,” said Ramovic as he looked ahead to the weekend clash.

“We don't feel sorry for ourselves, we know that we can, together, come out, and we will, because we have the quality and a winning mentality. My players have this great character.”

Ramovic predicted Galaxy would begin to find winning ways in Sunday’s cup tie.

“We will start now with this cup. We will win the game, and then we will start the next games to analyse the games and also win.”

He said a lack of goalscoring chances had cost them so far this season.

“We’ve played against teams who stand on a low block, so we’ve tried to break them down. But the thing is that we didn't create a lot of opportunities despite having around 68 per cent of ball possession.

“We’ve tried again to work on our last third, the final pass and the ability to score from these kinds of chances. We also changed a little bit our game. We analysed where we can improve and where we have to improve to increase the chances to win the next games.

“It was great to have this kind of break, and we were happy about it, because then we can work on the things and also that the new players that came in, that they can adapt, they can know better how we want to play, and that's why I'm very confident for the next games, because we trained very well,” Ramovic added.
