Ajax Cape Town’s morale is strong and the players have shown a strong work ethic despite not yet winning a match this season‚ asserted coach Roger de Sa on the eve of the visit of Bidvest Wits in the Absa Premiership on Wednesday.

“The vibe in the squad is unbelievable‚" he said.

"I’ve said this before but it is probably one of the best bunch of players I’ve ever worked with.

"They are very positive all the time and they work extremely hard. They’ve got a really good work ethic.

“Obviously with every game we play and don’t win‚ they are disappointed.

"It affects their pockets. But we are trying to improve all the time‚ every one is puling their weight for sure.”
De Sa said there was no need for any panic despite the mounting number of games without success.

Ajax have drawn two and lost three of their five league games this season and were also beaten at the weekend in the first round of the Telkom Knockout.

“It’s pressure every game‚ it’s no different.

"It will be like that all the time. Had we won four and lost one‚ we would be trying to correct that one that we lost and right now we are looking for that win. Every week we look for it‚" the Ajax coach added.

“We try and analyse the performances and it might sound a bit biased but I don’t think our performances have been too bad.

"We have had some bad moments along the way but overall‚ we sit after the games and think we could have won every game we played.

"There hasn’t been a single match where we have felt we were well beaten and totally outplayed.

"Every game could have gone our way‚ so we keep on believing‚ keep on fighting‚ keep on working and trying to improve where we can.”

In the league‚ Ajax are second from bottom with two points out of a possible 15. - TMG Digital
