Maybe because they know the DStv Premiership title is in the bag, Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi says their target for the remainder of the season is reaching the 71-point mark.
“So, that is the direction we want to take, that is the mentality we have, to try to compete against ourselves.”“We are not looking at how many matches we need to play to win the league.“We had to make sure that we win this match so that we have a decent outcome from this cycle of five games, which was not one of our best, but at the same time it was not terrible.
“Our target is always to better ourselves and to know the challenge that we have in the Champions League is bigger than all of us. We cannot drop the ball and say that even if we get a draw or lose a match it is not important, because we don’t want to develop that culture. Sundowns have scored 22 goals in their past five matches in all competitions, but the statistic that pleases Mngqithi more is that the Brazilians have only conceded four during that period.
