Do you really wanna tell me the players aren’t trying to win matches? - Mokwena.

The spotlight has been on Mamelodi Sundowns' three draws in a row in the Dstv Premiership.

If this was any other team, the three draws would not have made the news, but this is Mamelodi Sundowns, the most successful South African club at the moment, they are the news.

Sundowns head coach, Rulani Mokwena, believes that if people can look at his team with sober eyes, they would see that his players are trying to win matches.

"So it’s tough, it’s the world we live in, unfortunately, but we try to win games, we try to do our best and try again [to win]. Really, let’s watch with soberness of eyes, if you watch Sundowns do you really wanna tell me the players aren’t trying to win matches?" asked Mokwena. https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/nedbank-cup/mokwena-we-are-victims-of-our-own-success/

"I saw a stat saying Sundowns has only been able to comeback from behind and win a football match, twice in the last 13 years. Someone sent me that stat – this is the first time we actually went behind this season.

"That was such an important test to overcome and it wasn’t easy, Golden Arrows are very good, with good players in a rich vein of form and we had to fight and overcome the result."

The three draws, according to Mokwena, are just a turbulent period that every team goes through.

"The road to success is not paved in glitz and glam, it’s not smooth sailing, there’s turbulence and we have to be grateful to God because for others the turbulences are vert very difficult and for us the turbulences are three draws in a row.

"So we have to appreciate the fact, even while football dished out lessons and tests, it still doesn’t affect us that much, we just have to keep going and try and be stronger and stronger."
