Everyone involved is well prepared, and the club understands the recruitment challenges that come with market dates and stiff competition. The emphasis remained on keeping the existing core connected and aligned with the dream of a strong campaign and eventual improvement. The coach stressed that the group is focused on the goal and remains motivated by the belief that their shared effort will translate into better results on the pitch.
