Pitso takes another dig at Chiefs and coach Middendorp

Speaking after his side’s 1-0 win over Highlands Park on Wednesday night, Mosimane refused to label this clash as a must-win.

“We don’t need to beat Kaizer Chiefs. Why should we beat Kaizer Chiefs? We don’t need to beat Kaizer Chiefs to win the league, we have so many points to play for,” Mosimane told SuperSport TV.

“Even if you lose against Chiefs or Pirates and you win the rest, you win the league.

“We’re not going to be emotional about the situation. Yes, we don’t want to lose to them, yes our supporters don’t want that, we want to win. But I’m not emotional about it, we have to be smart.

“We know how to win the championship. We’ve won nine championships, we know how to win the league. This is about winning the league, it’s not about fighting the guy who’s on form.”

Mosimane then took a swipe at Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp, saying he was waiting for him to talk when things don’t go well for Chiefs.

“They are on form, they are doing well, they are strong, they are physical. Benni (McCarthy) was complaining after, you know the issues, the stories we speak about them.

“It’s a story with them, hopefully, things will turn around. I’m waiting for Middendorp to talk when things don’t go well for him. I’m just waiting because I know his story, when he was at Maritzburg and everywhere else, he was facing the DC (Disciplinary Committee) every day, why? Because of fighting the referee, he forgets now. Now he’s on a gravy train, his time is coming.”
