Mamelodi Sundowns utility left-back Lyle Lakay has emphasised winning the MTN8 hasn’t divested the Brazilians of their burning desire to still win all the trophies on offer.
Sundowns eventually clinched their first MTN8 title since 2007 by overcoming Cape Town City on penalties on Saturday. The Brazilians have since shifted focus to their league tie against Maritzburg United at Loftus Versfeld Stadium this afternoon .
“Obviously, we won the MTN8 but I think we have to forget about that now. Actually, we’ve already forgotten about it because we know we have a game against Maritzburg. We had our moment when we had to celebrate but as professionals we have to now focus on the next game.” “They haven’t played since their game against Galaxy. They had a few days off, so I think they’ll be fresher than us. But having said that, I still think we’re professional enough to fight hard. We’re capable of getting three points. We want the three points and we’ll do everything to get it,” Lakay said.
