The Amakhosi playmaker believes the upcoming Toyota Cup fixture will serve as the ultimate barometer for the squad's adaptation to the coach’s tactical blueprint. Following a rigorous pre-season tour in Spain, the Soweto giants are looking to demonstrate that they have fully grasped the French tactician’s new philosophy.

The Buccaneers tactician has expressed clear concerns regarding his side’s recent performances at the back. Despite showing promise in transition and possession during their European tour, the Betway Premiership reigning champions have struggled to keep clean sheets against high-calibre opposition.
