Ronwen Williams of Mamelodi Sundowns during the DStv Premiership 2022/23 match between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium, Johannesburg on the 21 January 2023.Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena sounded pleased with goalkeeper Ronwen Williams’ adoption of the Brazillians’ style of play, where a goalkeeper must be comfortable on the ball to launch build-ups.
Though there were moments when Kaizer Chiefs nearly stole the ball from his feet, Williams was a focal point whenever Sundowns built from the back in their 1-0 win over Amakhosi at FNB Stadium at the weekend. Neo Maema scored the game’s single goal that helped the Tshwane giants break their own record of 11 successive league wins, set in 2017.
“The talk [that Williams is now able to start the build-ups] is good but the talk could be different if one or two the situations [where Chiefs nearly snatched the ball]...because it’s very risky to play with the goalkeeper and there were one or two situations where it’s easy to say ‘what are they doing’? It [having a ball-playing keeper] works out for us,” Mokwena said.
“It’s important because big teams must have 11 players in possession on the pitch and we try to do that with Ronwen as a starting point of our build-up scheme.”
