'Vila' joined Galaxy at the beginning of the current campaign from defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns after falling down the pecking order.

"About Vila, a fantastic player, a fantastic name, and a great career," Ramovic said.

"But again, as a coach, I don't care about age, I don't care about names.

"I just look at the things I see on the field and who gives 100% every day and who train well, and put in a lot of effort, these players will play.

"The players who don't give their best will have a difficult time.

"But I think, it's not only in my club. I think at other clubs, it's the same rules.

"Every coach tries to pick the best eleven because we all want to win games.

"I would not be really smart if I selected a player who didn't show me during the whole week that he would like to play and that I should put him in.

"How big is the chance if you don't train well that you suddenly will play well in a match, I think it will be a small chance.

"It's better to play with players that put in the effort, with the right attitude, great lifestyle, I think I was a player, I know if I don't train well, I will not play well.

"This is my experience, and this is the way how it is."

TS Galaxy will face Amavaravara in a Round of 32 Nedbank Cup clash at Bidvest Stadium on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 15:00.
