Sundowns defunct from their normal flowing football style and involved in an arm-wrestle
that not only irritated Gavin Hunt's side‚ but showcased Sundowns' flexibility
and adaptability.
When the sides first met on October 1 in Mbombela‚ Wits handed
Sundowns a 3-0 hammering.
“You can't study biology yet you're writing geography‚"
Mosimane said.
"You've got to study what's pending to you. We distinguished
they were not going to change their game plan and they've been terminating
teams.
"I was watching them during the Baroka game and I didn't
even finish that game. Baroka wanted to play football and Wits didn't allow
them to.
"I knew Wits weren't going to play football and I wasn't
going to do the same.
“This game was a heavyweight boxing bout and it didn't look good
and I'm sorry about that. Normally Mamelodi Sundowns does not win these types
of matches.
"This team can play pretty football but they can also graft
at the same time.
"That's something we learnt during the Champions League and
with the style of football they're employing‚ they look like a team that'll do
well‚ especially in the away games. ”
Sundowns may be three points off log leaders SuperSport United
but they still have four games in hand in fourth place.
On account of how tactically astute they were against Hunt's
equally brilliant side‚ Mosimane's goal-driven team should be log leaders if
they beat Chippa United on Tuesday at home.
But the wily coach is not counting his chickens before they
hatch.
“We are just taking one game at a time and we're not looking up
the log.
"What's good for us now is that we're three points ahead of
our schedule so we need to win against Chippa United to complete our first
block of fixtures and deposit those points in the other block of matches.
"If we carry on in that manner‚ we're en route for the same
number of points we had last season. I don't know whether we'll get there
because of injuries and stuff‚” Mosimane said.
“There's also the small matter of the Champions League where if
you get to the group stages‚ there's six games and this could also apply to
Wits.
