Ernst Middendorp Praises The Mentality Of Maritzburg United! The Team of Choice came away with a terrific 2-0 victory over TS Galaxy on Saturday.

This is a great victory as Maritzburg United lost 3-0 to the very same opponents the last time they met each other. Ernst Middendorp gathers pace on his quest to stave off relegation with The Team of Choice.

“It’s a one against one mentality, something that we worked on in particular at the start of the second half of the season,” the coach told the media.

“There were one or two moments in the end, but of course we are very happy with the three points.” He added.

Middendorp has always lambasted players who misuse their technical ability. He is not a fan of flicks and tricks on the football pitch.

“As a player who has abilities, skills, as a team it doesn’t mean anything, it’s nothing if the one parameter is not around – attitude, mentality, this combined – then you can play a good game, show good performance, and in the end you will make the points.

“And we have the skills, the skill-set is there, individually and as a team.

 “Sometimes you have to think about why somebody makes an error, probably we put pressure on the ball, pressure on the pass and we had a very high pressing line.

“And I think this is very crucial. For this, you need the players who are doing it.

“Players who want to do fancy left, right, moving a little bit around, sorry you cannot achieve anything.” Middendorp lamented.

They will return to action on the 3^rd of April after the international break. They only have one player in the Bafana Bafana setup in the form of Thabiso Kutumela.
