Sead Ramovic: Our dream is to win the Nedbank Cup again

Ramovic are up against Chippa United at Mbombela Stadium this weekend, where they will be looking to advance to the semi-finals and move one step closer to the cup title they won as a First Division team in 2019.

In December, the Rockets came agonisingly close to silverware when Stellenbosch FC pipped them in the CKO final on penalties and, backed by form, Ramovic this time sees his team going all the way.

"I could do it in an easy way and say our goal is to stay in the league, and maybe to go to the [Nedbank Cup] quarter-finals and we're happy, but no, we are not," said Ramovic.

"We want to be in a top-eight spot for this season, and we want to go as far as possible – of course, our dream is to win the Cup, and we know that we can do it.

"But we also know if we don't put 100 percent on the field from Monday until Friday, and not only game-time but in the training sessions is the most important things [because] this is where you win games.

"If we don't put intensity and don't have high-level practice everyday, then the game will be very tricky, but if you do it everyday at training then the game will be easier for the players.

"And our goal is to make it as easy as possible that they feel good on the field, and yeah, the secret is determination, great attitude, great lifestyle – from all of us, starting from myself until the kit man."
