The Brazilians have been one of the most active teams in the transfer market, so far signing at least eight players for next season.
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Themba Zwane says the massive signings of coach Pitso Mosimane will not affect the team’s pace, but will “increase competition” for spots.
Mosimane has been one of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) busiest coaches in acquiring players ahead of the 2020/21 season.
At least eight new players have arrived at Chloorkop, including former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Maluleka, as well as the former Bidvest Wits trio of Gift Motupa, Ricardo Goss and Haashim Domingo.
“I think it is good to increase the competition in the team,” Zwane told the South African Association of Football Journalists at an online press conference.
“That is what we want because we are playing important tournaments like the Champions League and winning it. We need a lot of that because the games are too many. I think it’s good for the team and obviously we want the guys to come to Chloorkop and adapt quickly so they can help the team in the future. Hopefully they adapt quickly. “
Amid the wholesale signings, Sundowns was expected last week to reveal players who would be released from their contracts or loaned.
Mosimane’s transfer business is gearing up for next season, where he will compete for a fourth consecutive PSL title.
Zwane has praised the role Mosimane has played in his career and has transformed the Sundowns into a formidable team that has won five league titles since 2014 and a Caf Champions League title among its top trophies.
“He has played an important role in the team. She always motivates us, she wants men who work hard, ”said Zwane.
“It will give you the mentality that he has, the mentality of always being alert, not taking things for granted. You play a game, you forget about it, and you focus on the next game.
“He has done well for himself, for the team and for the country. To be honest, it has played a big role in me. He is always on top of me; “Mshishi, you have to score more, you have to create more, you have to make the team play, you have to take care of yourself to avoid injury.” It is always on top of me. I really appreciate working with him. “
Mosimane has indicated that he is not done with his transfer business and more new signings are expected to come to Chloorkop.
