Manqoba’s message to Sundowns players

Mamelodi Sundowns may be feeling like top dawgs but coach Manqoba Mngqithi is a demanding master.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS POWER

With four Betway Premiership matches, Kabo Yellow has won four, scoring 10 goals and conceding just three. The biggest win was the 5-0 win over Golden Arrows in the Carling Knockout.

“I must congratulate my boys for scoring five goals in as much as I do feel that we’re still not ruthless enough. I think in the first half we created a lot of situations where we could’ve scored more goals. We didn’t take those chances and we went to half time with only two goals but there’s a lot of positives,” Mngqithi told SuperSport TV.

“What I’m trying to fight for with the team and I think it’s getting closer into their heads is the paranoia to score goals and create scoring opportunities. When I see the way they’re celebrating scoring goals, maybe they’re also talking to me to say ‘you see now’ because I was complaining at half time about the chances that we missed.

“We could see the areas where they had limitations to try and create scoring opportunities from wide areas. I think that worked because most of our goals came from those situations. We intentionally dislocated their fullbacks so that we could find the space on the outside and establish play from there,” the Sundowns mentor added.

“We just take each game as it comes. I’ve always been optimistic that the team is going to come right. The team is strong and probably stronger than last season and I’ve always believed that we are on the right track. I believe that the approach that one has chosen for the team is the right one,” Mngqithi concluded.

NEXT FIXTURE

As things stand, Kabo Yellow‘s invincible start has included wins over SuperSport United, Marumo Gallants, Kaizer Chiefs, and Royal AM.

According to the schedule, Sundowns will travel to Limpopo this weekend.

The event will be a Betway Premiership game against Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday at 15:30.
