Bit of both emotions

Unheralded and unused, life as a back-up goalkeeper is certainly not for the faint-hearted. It’s a

truism of football that preparation is crucial and you go into every single

training session with the same effort as the starting keeper, even if you only end up watching from the bench or even stands come matchday. And it’s often

several weeks, months and at times a year before your next appearance. Well, that’s something new SuperSport United net minder Ricardo Goss learnt the hard way at Mamelodi Sundowns over the past two seasons when he found stalwarts Denis Onyango and Kennedy Mweene solid in the posts. Now on a two-year loan to cross-town rivals Matsatsantsa a Pitori, the Durban-born shot-stopper tells Soccer Laduma’s Tumi Gabonamong in this interview just how he plans to make up for lost time and reignite his once-promising career.
