After their three successive victories in the Betway Premiership, TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganovic wants his side to keep their feet on the ground and not get carried away by that impressive run.
The Rockets recovered from their slow start this season, which saw them suffer two back-to-back victories to Durban City and Sekhukhune United in the league, to register three wins.
They also lost to Sekhukhune in the MTN8 quarterfinal. But after wins at Chippa United, Orbit College and Siwelele to jump to fourth in the log table, Beganovic said he knew they would turn the corner.
“It's only five games we've played, this league is not easy, it's tough to get some points, yes, but we know our structure, our vision and how we want to play. Every match we just improve and we never give up. It is imperative because we believe in our model,” Beganovic explained to Sowetan.

“If you lose a couple of games and you give up, then it is not a real vision. We have a real vision. This club aims to finish in the top eight every season. If we have an opportunity to fight for something more, yes, we will. For now, our goal is to keep our top-eight spot.”
Beganovic added that despite losing in those matches, they didn't play badly and believes the Fifa break came at the right time for them, as there are a few new players who are still trying to settle at the club.
“I knew we had quality, the last three games were not that perfect but [were] good matches, and then we scored nine goals, but we need to stay humble and work hard,” he said.
“This Fifa break will be good for us because we've so many players who need to adjust and also get their fitness better. I think we can play much better. So, I think it is a good break.”
Galaxy will face Richards Bay after the international break.
