Stan Matthews Says Sipho Mbule Came Back from Christmas Break 5 KG Overweight!
Stan Matthews Says Sipho Mbule Came Back from Christmas Break 5 KG Overweight! The Matsatsantsa midfielder is rated as one of the best in the country.
Sipho Mbule has rarely featured for SuperSport United this season. CEO Stan Matthews claims that the talented midfielder came back from Christmas break five kilograms overweight.
This follows the recent transfer of Teboho Mokoena from SuperSport United to Mamelodi Sundowns. Many are now wondering when Mbule will follow suite.
Last night, when speaking with Thomas Mlambo on The Ultimate Sport Show, Stan Matthews quashed any chances of Mbule leaving the club in this transfer window.
“There is no chance that he’s going to be let go this window,” Matthews spoke
“That’s a discussion we can have in six months’ time, depending on Sipho and the way he approaches his career and his attitude towards the club.
“As I said Teboho [Mokoena] has been professional and done everything top drawer. Hence, we allowed his move six months early because he deserved it.
“Likewise, with Modiba, likewise with Grant Kekana. The players that have shown the club respect, the players that have shown their loyalty to the club, the club has supported them to have fantastic lives in football and there have been no exceptions in this regard from Kamohelo Mokotjo to Kermit Erasmus, to Dane Klate, I mention many…
“I think Sipho has got some improvement to show in his attitude towards training and towards application,” he added.
“We respect that clubs have come and made offers towards him. It seems right as a professional to get other offers, no one in the whole world wouldn’t want Sipho to go on and achieve big things for big money just like Teboho.
“But Teboho has done ABC off the field and in his conduct and approach that’s earned him his move but Sipho has fallen short in one or two of those areas.
“He knows that that’s why he hasn’t been playing recently for the club. You know, he’s a special asset, he’s a marvel of some form, but you only have to look at Sipho’s physical condition, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that he’s not applying himself to the full extent of his career.
“You can’t come back from a Christmas break 5 Kilograms overweight. It’s not acceptable in the professional football world and if you want to earn millions and millions of Rand, you’ve got to have self-discipline, you need to have respect for your colleagues and coaches and the badge that you play for and you need to put in your best at all times, not take your foot of the pedal when you think everybody’s chasing you for your signature, because that’s not the right attitude to have.”
Mbule participated in the DSTV Compact Cup for Dinaledi FC last weekend. Stan Matthews Says Sipho Mbule Came Back from Christmas Break 5 KG Overweight!
