After a positive start this season and being involved in all three games to date, it is normal that he has to give personal answers.
"I think, as footballers we are always looking to improve," says Ngcobo.
"To improve our game.
"I think it is what I have been working for, to improve my game.
"I also see some improvements, so I’m happy," he says, while then discussing the blockbuster match against Mamelodi Sundowns and the return of Nasreddine Nabi.
"I think we know the quality of Sundowns very well.
"We can never say just because they lost their previous game and maybe it will be an easy game.
"It will not be an easy game.
"They are a very strong team.
"They have their positives but also have their negatives, so we are just going to be working on capitalising on the negatives and making sure that we play our A-game.
"With the previous games, we have showed that we can play Sundowns and we can beat them.
"So, I think the game plan worked very well in our last game with them, so I think we just have to continue with the game plan.
"We know Sundowns is a team that likes to have the ball, so with us it is to defend well and make sure that we do get them when we get our chances.
"I think firstly, we are happy as a team to have our coach back and he is doing well.

"So, it is always great to have our coach back and we are looking forward to the game.
"It is the same team, they work together as a technical team, so there wasn’t so much difference while he was away.
"So, I think as he is just back, we will keep growing," says Ngcobo.
