“That was like 10 years ago – how many coaches have we gone through‚ different teams and different pressures?”
Seldom can so much have been at stake in a recent derby as in Saturday’s match-up between Absa Premiership leaders Chiefs and third-placed Pirates‚ which was sold out weeks in advance.
Manyama was reminded about when he and Chiefs team-mates George Maluleka and Khama Billiat played scintillating football for Ajax Cape Town under Foppe de Haan‚ blowing the in the 2010-11 season on the final day to Pirates. “And it happens – eventually you’re going to lose. In some games‚ like this one this weekend‚ I’m sure it will be a very different performance because you’re playing opponents who also want to play.
“But‚ ja‚ that’s how football is. And ja‚ come Saturday I think we’re ready to give a much better performance as a team.”
