Pitso Mosimane: “SA Football style of play, is awkward for North African teams”

Pitso Mosimane, recently caused a stir on social media with a tweet praising South African football and its style of play. In his tweet, Mosimane stated that the South African style of play can be difficult for North African teams to handle, particularly when played with controlled arrogance and confidence. He also expressed confidence that South African teams will continue to win continental trophies and cautioned anyone who underestimates them that they do so at their own peril.

Mosimane’s comments are significant given his experience coaching at the highest level of South African football. During his tenure as the head coach of Mamelodi Sundowns, he led the team to unprecedented success, winning numerous domestic and continental trophies, including the coveted CAF Champions League. As such, he is well-placed to offer his insights into the strengths and weaknesses of South African football and its players.

One of the key strengths of South African football, according to Mosimane, is its style of play. He argues that South African teams play with a unique blend of skill, speed, and flair that can be difficult for opposing teams to handle. When played with controlled arrogance and confidence, this style of play can be particularly effective against North African teams, which are known for their physicality and tactical discipline.

However, Mosimane’s comments also highlight some of the challenges that South African football faces. Despite winning continental trophies in the past, South African teams have struggled to consistently compete at the highest level of African football. This is due in part to a lack of investment in the sport, both at the grassroots level and in terms of infrastructure and resources.

Nonetheless, Mosimane’s tweet is a reminder of the potential that exists within South African football. With the right investments and support, there is no reason why South African teams cannot continue to win continental trophies and compete with the best teams in Africa. As Mosimane notes, anyone who underestimates South African football does so at their own peril.
