Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi is not interested in entertaining widespread talk that the Brazilians are DStv Premiership champions in waiting.
With the league campaign having reached the business end, Sundowns enjoys an 18-point lead but Mngqithi doesn’t agree that it is a matter of when and not if they will be crowned champions.
“Our focus is never really on the championship that much, we’ve got processes that we always focus on,” said Mngqithi after their dominant win over TS Galaxy, which was secured through goals by Khuliso Mudau, Haashim Domingo and Peter Shalulile.So, we are looking at those processes. As to whether the championship is gone or not, is never really what we focus on.
“Maybe try to get as closer as possible to the unthinkable in terms of the number of points. So, basically, what we are focusing on is not really looking at the gap and everything that everybody else is focused on.” “We all get emotional like everybody else but it was never anything malicious or disrespectful. I thought it was a very emotional exchange based on what was happening on the pitch.”“To be honest I don’t think we had a good first half, we lost too many balls and we gave too much freedom to their centrebacks to initiate attacks. We looked a little bit tired.
