You have to love the idiosyncrasies of South African club football. Two league games into the season and we’ve already reached a pressure point — a moment to kick on or scratch off a viable trophy on the list.
“It’s not nice because we’re missing one more trophy to compete for,” he said. “But there’s nothing we can do about it now so we have to accept it: it’s in the past now. “It’s not a blessing in disguise. We really wanted to be in the top eight and compete and work on our game. It’s also a lot of money that the club’s losing out on.”
City desperately need the stability that is required for a sustained title challenge. Another run to the MTN8 final, beginning with a rare Newlands game against Polokwane City, would be the ideal way for them to develop a winning habit. “I think to get a silverware will serve as motivation for everyone in the team to do well in the season ahead because this one is only four games to play,” he added.
Da Gama seems to relish the opportunity to play the underdog so a tie against the Buccaneers might be just what the team needs.Somehow, some way Bloemfontein Celtic are in this competition. Despite the club becoming a shambles, Steve Komphela quitting in embarrassing circumstances and a fanbase that is sick to death of all this drama — they miraculously scooped eighth place. Once more, all the signs of doom have been there. And once more, destiny has been defied.
Assuming, of course, that Pitso Mosimane takes this one seriously. The Sundowns coach is a serial moaner when it comes to fixture congestion and with a historic 10th PSL medal on the cards for the club, he may be quite content to be knocked out early.Having made it to the past two finals, winning one, SuperSport United have made a habit of doing well in the MTN8. Their otherwise horrid 2017-18 season was proof of just what a boon this trophy can be.
