Benni responds to Mosimane’s mind games

Mosimane was quoted in the media as saying that City’s success is owed to former coach Muhsin Ertugral.

“I was coached by (Jose) Mourinho, my friend, so mind games to me? Good luck,” McCarthy told the media.

“I am new, so the club was one year old when I arrived here, so whatever success they had, had nothing to do with me. Me, I am looking to build something for myself, so I did inherit a good team, whether it was from Muhsin or Eric, but every single player that you see plays in my team, how many players can Eric say he played? And how many players can Muhsin say he played?” continued McCarthy.

“Come Sunday, that’s when I talk. I think I am a little bit more experienced, I am not that naïve in the game to get bothered about mind games and whose success. I think Sundowns was successful before Pitso, I am just saying. But it is all good, it is part of football. But at the end of the day it is about the players…” concluded McCarthy.
