This week’s soccer buzz

● A Manchester City press conference:

Journalist: “Dani Alves has said you were his best ever coach and, to quote him he said his experience of you coaching him was ‘better than sex’.

“I was just wondering what you thought of that?”

Pep Guardiola: “I prefer the sex… by far.” Tsamaya: The sexologist has spoken.

● Forgotten former Orlando Pirates coach turned agent Mike Makaab revealed how much the incident that involved Pirates assistant coach Rulani Mokwena and a fan during a drama-filled match against Mamelodi Sundowns last week touched him on his studio.

“The fan that attacked Rulani is lucky it wasn’t 1994/5,” Makaab gushed on his twitter account. "It would have ended in a knockout... just saying.” Now we are wondering who between that overzealous fan and a pint-sized, Kangol cap-wearing Makaab would have ended on the canvass. ● After a year filled with off-the-field incidents, drama and some questionable deals, the PSL decided to duck the media and hold a secretive AGM this week. Tsamaya was not surprised given the fact that the same PSL has, for a good three years, avoided appointing an independent CEO with enough clout to make both the PSL executive and club members accountable for their actions. The media, we are told, is another nuisance that the PSL would be happy to do without.

● After a tepid start as Kaizer Chiefs coach, Giovanni Solinas must be relieved in that he works for a club that fully embraces all his flaws, this after club manager Bobsteak Motaung assured all and sundry that the Italian is going nowhere. That must have sounded terrible in the ears of clubless Luc Eymael and Muhsin Ertugral who must have thought the Amakhosi job is there for the taking following the speculation around Solinas’s future at Naturena.

“There’s nothing of such,“said Motaung of the reports linking Chiefs with Ertugral. As for Eymael, his chances look as tight as the eye of a needle.
