Manqoba Mngqithi Believes They Could Have Scored More Goals! The Brazilians secured yet another win yesterday.
Mamelodi Sundowns beat Swallows FC 4-2 in the DSTV Premiership last night. Co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi bemoaned the lack of clinical touch in the final third.
This was yet another win for The Brazilians who are now only 10 points away from claiming their 5th consecutive league title.
“This game was a little bit of a banana skin,” Mngqithi told SuperSport TV after the decisive win.
“We score, they score immediately. We got worried but I think we controlled the game very well.
“There were many good moments from our build-up where we had numerical superiority and could find the playing angles.
“Second half they came hyped up and tried to press us from the top and I give credit to AJ and Surprise for coming short and overloading the midfield when they decided to play with a 3-5-2 which gave us a little bit more latitude to go into the wide channels.
“Very good performance by the boys but I still believe we could have scored a few more goals if we were a little bit more clinical. Though I think at some stage the pitch was a little bit bumpy.
“Some of the actions in the final third were disturbed by the pitch itself. But a very good performance from the boys.
“I think we stick to our playing concept. We don’t rush football and play too many long balls.
“That is very important to us because our shape must always give us possibilities for our defensive shape. If we are wide open and have long distances, it becomes difficult to counter-press.
“If you are playing teams that are playing on transition then you open yourself up to more transitions.
“The moment we played closer and had that extra pass in our game we started to gain control of the game and we made them lose the confidence that they had. Second half Dylan did a very good job to hype them up.
“There were a few scary moments but fortunately our boys held it.”
The Brazilians maintained an 11-point gap to second placed Royal AM. Manqoba Mngqithi Believes They Could Have Scored More Goals!
