Mxolisi Macuphu Aims For A Top 8 Finish!
Mxolisi Macuphu Aims For A Top 8 Finish! TS Galaxy currently occupies 8th spot in the DSTV Premiership.
Striker Mxolisi Macuphu is adamant that they are aiming to finish higher than the spot they currently occupy. As this is their first season in the top flight, many were pinning them to be relegation candidates.
However, since Coach Owen Da Gama has arrived, they have grown to become top 8 candidates.
“It is pleasing that we’ve ran past the 32 mark.” He tells the club website.
“It is a job well done to the lads. Nobody gave us a chance (at the start of the season).
“It is great to work, it is great team spirit and also thanks to the support from the chairman (Tim Sukazi),” Macuphu adds.
“Everyone has contributed. Our drivers, the ladies that are cooking for us, it is a big thank you.
“This is our first season in top-flight football as a club and we’ve already passed the 32 points mark with five games to spare. We are now aiming for that top eight spot” he says.
The Rockets have an extremely tough last 5 games before the season ends. They face the historic Top 3, while also playing Golden Arrows and Stellenbosch FC in this time.
“Our next goal in the last five games is to cement our place in the top eight. We want to climb that ladder.
“Anything can happen now. We’ve set the foundation and we have to push harder in the last five games.
“We’ve given ourselves that privilege of pushing harder in the last five games,” he elaborates.
In addition to this, Macuphu isn’t satisfied with 8th spot. He wants more.
“We can even still fight for that seventh and sixth spot on the log. The lads have worked their socks off.
“They know what is at stake. I’m confident that we will finish in the top eight,” he continued.
“We are going to achieve this top eight. It is there for the taking.
“If you check the results as well, they do favour us. We have to take that into consideration and work very hard.
“We know, it won’t be easy. We are there and one foot is in,” the striker concluded. Mxolisi Macuphu Aims For A Top 8 Finish!
