WHY CHIEFS AND PIRATES WON’T BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE DOWNS – MUHSIN ERTUGRAL
Former Chiefs and Pirates coach Muhsin Ertugral says the Sowetan giants aren’t going to be able to overcome Downs’ dominance. Here’s why.
“One of the things we undermine in football is continuity. Mamelodi Sundowns have had continuity for five years now after winning the league in succession,” Ertugral told IOL.
“The teams that are following them (Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Cape Town City and Roy AM) are buying eight, nine or 10 players, and even more.
“And it doesn’t work like that. It will never work. It is like fine-tuning an orchestra. Everyone can play unplugged. But you won’t listen to that. You’ll listen to an orchestra in fine-tuning. And this is years, and years, of being together.
“From the most successful teams in the world, you’ll see there’s only two or three transfers that are made and not more. And then, there’s longevity of continuity and processing of the squad. So, again, I don’t think that Sundowns will be challenged in this season.”
