League is a marathon Masandawana

The Premier Soccer League is a marathon Masandawana (Mamelodi Sundowns supporters). You win some and lose some. That's how soccer is. Our disappointing lost (Mamelodi Sundowns 0-1 Kaizer Chiefs) does not mean we cannot win the league.

We are still on course and were beaten by a team (Kaizer Chiefs) who will never take the league. We must also not forget that we are still building with a new coach (Johan Neeskens) and some new players. There are some positive things we can focus on rather than troubling ourselves with negative things.

For instance Deco (Teko Modise) is totally back. He has been consistent with his form for past four consecutive games including of Sunday’s one against Amakhosi. We have discovered a marvelous player in Themba Mangethe. He needs to be taken care of as he has a great potential.

Our supporters came in great numbers and I was pleased to see them clapping hands for encouragement to players after the game. They were also vibrant even outside the Loftus Versfeld Stadium after end of the game. Chiefs  supporters looked unhappy despite the win. Let us keep the spirit of support as we turn our focus to the next game.
