Young Africans coach Miguel Gamondi celebrated his squad rotation strategy following a resounding 4-0 victory over newly promoted Pamba Jiji in their latest Premier League clash.
In a match characterised by dynamic play and clinical finishing, Yanga showcased the depth of their squad, allowing several lesser-used players to step into the limelight.
Gamondi expressed satisfaction with the performance of the players, highlighting the importance of squad rotation for both team depth and morale, saying it paid well.
“We were pleased with the opportunity to rotate the squad, offering some of the lesser-seen players a chance to shine,” Gamondi said after the-match as quoted by Daily News.
“It’s always good to see players who do not get regular minutes step up when given the opportunity, like in this match against Pamba Jiji. I am happy with how they performed.”
In addition to discussing squad rotation, Gamondi noted the importance of scoring an early goal to unsettle Pamba Jiji, who came prepared to thwart Yanga’s pressing game.
“Our objective was clear from the start; we wanted to get an early goal and maintain pressure on our opponents throughout the match.
“The plan was to dominate possession and control the pace with our style of play. Pamba aimed to limit our scoring opportunities by defending deep.”
