Lorch has arrived!

Robert Nkosi – Mamelodi Sundowns supporter

“You know, Thembinkosi Lorch has always been a good player. He joined a team that has no average players, which means he has joined a team full of stars. When a star joins other stars, without taking anything away from his former teammates, he doesn’t get any problems or challenges when it comes to settling in. Lorch has hit the ground running since joining us because he’s joined a team of top-quality players. No one can deny the fact that he was the biggest name at his previous club but he has now joined a team with even bigger names. That means he will be learning a lot of new things and that can only improve his game. If you check, unlike other teams, we don’t have a new signing sitting on the bench. They are all making an impact unless they are injured. That’s because there is a lot of work put into our signings. We don’t just sign anyone, and they join a team with a clear playing philosophy and culture. Not anyone can play for us, which is why we don’t sign ‘fly-bynights’, we take time to monitor a player and when he joins, he is ready to fit into our system. We sign quality because we have quality. When quality meets quality, only the best can come out of it. Lorch has arrived! Honestly, people have not seen anything yet because we still expect a lot more from him. Like I said, we don’t just sign anyone, we sign people who will fit into our system. To our supporters, let’s not put him under unnecessary pressure because we can all see what he has been doing. Let’s just continue to support him because any quality player wants to go where there is quality. He wants to participate in the continent, where he will be testing himself against some of the best in the continent, not just our country. Top players play in the Champions League every season and you don’t just take anyone there. Lorch wants to be there and he also wants to see himself in the FIFA Club World Cup and who can take him there other than Sundowns? We welcome him to Chloorkop with open arms and promise to continue rallying behind him and the team. He must just enjoy his game and continue to work hard, everything will fall into place.”
