Ernst Middendorp Promises to Work Harder for Better Results! The German head coach has endured a poor start to the new season.

Maritzburg United have lost their opening two matches of the new DSTV Premiership season. Head coach Ernst Middendorp promises to work hard and curb the results.

Particularly because The Team of Choice had a similarly poor start to the previous season. They lost more than a handful of games and Eric Tinkler was consequently let go off.

They have lost to Golden Arrows and Sekhukhune United in their opening two matches. The manner of their most recent defeat disappointed the head coach.

“We definitely were not on the field for the first 30 minutes,” the German admitted to the club media.

“It’s really a surprise to see how we conceded the goals considering we have such an experienced line-up.

“We opened up completely at the centre with the first goal, I don’t know really what was given over there.

“The second goal over the top to the back post where we had Clayton Daniels and Riyaaz Ismail with good heading ability, but we allowed a shorter player to score, it was disappointing.

“We needed 30 minutes to put our combinations together and by then we were already 2-0 down.

“Of course, in the second half you then try, you play, you push them back into their own half with the danger of the counterattack, a few of which they had, and we didn’t concede, but then we didn’t threaten either.

“It’s not a good performance and now I’m a little bit irritated because I see the team, I see the players during training in a different way.

“I don’t really know what happened and it’s a performance that cannot be accepted.” The coach concluded.

They face Baroka FC on the 11^th of September 2021. Ernst Middendorp Promises to Work Harder for Better Results!
