Cape Town City reserves coach Ian Taylor says the problem with SA players is that they tend to want to do the extraordinary instead of excelling with the basic principles of football.
Taylor's side has been steady in the DStv Diski Challenge this season, kicking it off with back-to-back wins against defending champions Stellenbosch and Kaizer Chiefs. The trainer applauded his players for getting the six points and credite them for executing what they had been working on during the preseason. "They have worked very hard on certain aspects. As a team we worked very hard on defending, we conceded a lot of goals last season.
Taylor shared his views on how the lack of grasping football basics has set back the footballing standard of SA football. "We coach 18,19, and 20-year-olds things that should have been taught when they were 12, 13 or 14 years old. This is the problem with football in the country, our players don’t get the foundations of proper development, and we are giving it late.
