All eyes will be
in Durban to see which Soweto side will come back home with the league trophy
between the favorites, Orlando Pirates and Moroka Swallows. All teams in the
PSL are left with only one game before the end of the season. Moroka Swallows has
performed beyond expectations and only few thought they would be where they are,
trust me it what I call football beyond anticipation.
Igesund must be applauded for being able to
create a competing squad using players like Mpho Maleka, Bennet Chinene, Joseph
Makhanya, Luvhengo Mngomeni and David Mathebula. These are players who use to
be bench warmers in their previous teams.
Igesund has breath life in these players to an extent that David
Mathebula and Siyabonga Nomvete is contesting for the player of the season
award.
The Dube birds are on fire; in their
history they have never won the league. They are on verge of joining Manchester
City that won the league after decades and decades of trying. Swallows are
second on the log with 52 points and the Iron Duke boys are leading with 55
points. The birds will have to throw all
they have and cross fingers that Golden Arrows stand on the way of Bucs from
winning the league.
Orlando
Pirates Coach Augusto Palacious told the media on Tuesday that as much as his
team wants to win the league but they are taking it easy. They even play Volley
ball, they practice with music in the background as they prepare for their last
game against Golden Arrows. They might
as well go to play golf. Palacious is confident that he will add more dignity
on the Pirates Brand by winning the league.
These two
games can leave a lasting memory on the players like Siyabonga Nomvete who has
never won a league medal in his career. He’s the leading goal scorer, winning
the league as well can be something that he will never forget. Daine Klate is regarded
as the golden boy who attracts the league trophy wherever he goes. He won it
with Super Sport United and with Orlando Pirates.
David
Mathebula is also on the edge of winning his second league medal with a
different team as he won it with Kaizer Chiefs previously. As Gordon Igesund he
will be the all time coach who won five league trophies with different teams in
South Africa. Macbeth Sibaya and Benni McCarthy are senior players who just
joined their teams. Who will open Champaign between this two come Saturday
afternoon?
It has
been the battle of ideas, skills and tricks on the technical sides of all teams
now is the time to see who the best is. At some point we all thought Mamelodi
Sundowns were going to emerge victorious but the tactics got exhausted early.
It has
been an exciting season full of drama. Jomo Sono only brought pain to the fans
of Jomo Cosmos as he won the relegation. Kaizer Chiefs fans had the most
frustrating season ever in their history however let’s glue our eyes in KwaZulu
Natal where things will be happening.
Who will be the happiest man on earth between Palacious and Igesund?
