Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Linare head coach Leslie Nots\u030ci says \u2018Tse Tala\u2019 are \u201ca work in progress\u201d following a pair of intense battles with Lesotho Correctional Service (LCS) and Matlama in last weekend\u2019s Alliance Winter Challenge.<\/p>\n

Linare took on the top-flight heavyweights in the pre-season tournament at Setsoto Stadium and made it to the final where they lost 1-0 to \u2018Tse Putsoa\u2019.<\/p>\n

As \u2018Tse Tala\u2019 prepare for the new league campaign, they will be hoping to better their second-place finish from last season and win the championship for the first time since 1980. Nots\u030ci said Linare now know where they stand in terms of readiness and where they need to improve ahead of the Vodacom Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Of course, Linare can no longer look to the transfer market because the window has been shut, however, the month of September will provide them with enough time to sharpen themselves before the Vodacom Premiership season kicks off on October 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy with the players, I am proud of all of our players, everyone we gave an opportunity to play worked hard,\u201d Nots\u030ci said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe left (the Alliance Winter Challenge) having seen where our team is as Linare, and we are going forward.
\n\u201cIt was a tough tournament which is good,\u201d Nots\u030ci continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe applaud Alliance Insurance for this tournament because these two games against LCS and Matlama were very tough and we are thankful.
\nThe Alliance Winter Challenge was Linare\u2019s second pre-season tournament in the space of a week after the Leribe giants returned from a two-day trip from Botswana.<\/p>\n

Nots\u030ci said the upcoming 2023\/24 season will not be easy because teams have beefed up their squads. He said every team will be vying for the Vodacom Premier League title which currently resides in Mafeteng with Bantu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a work in progress, games like this will give us a picture of the areas we need to work to build,\u201d Nots\u030ci said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at last season, we were scoring a lot but now it shows we need to sharpen up in front and start to score especially when it\u2019s a cup competition where you just need goals. We tried for our approach to be more offensive and (the Alliance Winter Challenge) showed we need to fix up.\u201d<\/p>\n
