There is no time for good football anymore – Mosimane

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says it is time to shelve "good football” and focus on chiselling out points as the season draws to an end.


The Brazilians are leading the Absa Premiership title race, but only lead second-placed Orlando Pirates by one point, while they also have a game in hand to their advantage.

“What are you going to do with good football at this point with six games left? Play good football at the beginning and show off. Now it is tough and it is not only tough for us but everybody,” said Mosimane.

“You must take the three points and go home. It is not the Sundowns that we like, it is squeaky bum time, it is that space,” added the former Bafana Bafana coach.

Mosimane has also lashed out at Roger De Sa’s Platinum Stars, who have lost seven of their last 10 games in the league. Although they drew 0-0 with Baroka FC in their last game, Mosimane labelled the tail-end side as “careless”.

“Platinum Stars are a little bit careless to concede goals in the last minutes about three times. They needed those three points, but as we say, you never know. AmaZulu have got their tails up, so it is difficult,” commented Mosimane.
