Hlompho Kekana Gives Reason Why Mamelodi Sundowns Aren’t Dominating! The Brazilians have not enjoyed a quintessential start to the campaign.
Mamelodi Sundowns have already lost twice in the DSTV Premiership this season. This is very much unlike the high standards they have set over the years.
Masandawana will go down as one of the greatest teams in the history of the PSL. They have not only won the last 5 league titles, but they have also completely dominated domestic football.
This season however, it seems that defending their crown for a 6th title win will be tougher than other seasons. TS Galaxy and SuperSport United have already defeated Sundowns this season, which is uncharacteristic.
Former captain Hlompho Kekana has provided insight as to why this is happening.
“It is not going to be an overnight thing; it will take some time and they are working on it.” Kekana told the media.
“I am sure they are going to use this tournament to try and work on some formations and combinations. Sundowns are trying to multi-task in so many tournaments and they don’t play the same formation that they played in previous matches and the personnel is changing.
“That can easily make the team not jell as it is supposed to. They are trying to find combinations that will last them for the duration of the season because it is going to be a long season.
“This time around they want to go for the kill in the Champions League and they want to win the league here at home. The main goal at this moment is to try and go to the final of the Champions League and that is why they keep changing the personnel in the team,
“It is a difficult formation for players especially when it is new, and you find yourself in a team like Sundowns where every match is a cup final. I am sure that the players are ready for the task, and they will try to win the matches.” He added.
