'A lot of players play on the talent and then they forget that‚ you know‚ you still have to put in a shift. And when they combine the two‚ then that's great.'
Cape Town City head coach Benni McCarthy in a discussion with his players during an Absa Premiership match against Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus.Cape Town City are"not championship material yet"‚ said Citizens coach Benni McCarthy after his team's dramatic come-from-behind 3-2 Absa Premiership victory against Bidvest Wits at Bidvest Stadium on Saturday night.
McCarthy was asked about the growing confidence of Kermit Erasmus‚ who scored a second goal in two games and set up another as City bounced back from a 3-2 midweek defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns. "And‚ ja‚ Kermie‚ he's a player who wants to improve and wants to be better. He's demanding of his teammates.
"And then with the movement of Kermit‚ and the movement of 'Shaka' [Siphelele Mthembu] when he comes back‚ and if we get Chris into the pace of our league then yeah‚ then we've got a good partnership. "And second-half performances like this‚ you can see that if the guys just believe a little bit more‚ then they know that in the near future‚ next season‚ they could be more than just working towards a championship team‚ but make themselves contenders."
