Come on Mzansi, skeema Matsatsantsa – Sibiya
SUPERSPORT United chairman Khulu Sibiya has called on South Africans to unite in support of Matsatsantsa a Pitori for their Caf Confederation Cup final, second leg tie against TP Mazebe at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday night.
Mazembe won 2-1 in the first leg in Lubumbashi last weekend.
“South Africans must unite on would be brilliantly topped of if we could lift this trophy on Saturday. These are the sort of competitions and trophies that you remember as a player long after you have retired. Nobody remembers the team that lost in the final.
“I’ll give it my all and hopefully help the team be successful. I am not happy with just the 10 goals I have scored. I want to Saturday. It is not about whether you support Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns. This is about the nation as a whole. I was very amazed by the Congolese people at the weekend. They came from different places to support Mazembe. Even people who live in South Africa were there to support Mazembe. These people are very score two more this weekend and finish on 12. Hopefully those goals are enough for us to win the trophy.”
It’s been a crazy year for Brockie. He helped SuperSport retain the Nedbank Cup in May and handed in a transfer request in August with Mamelodi Sundowns after him. Matsatsantsa turned it down.
He took that decision on the hostile. They are hostile even in the VIP areas. I’ve never seen anything like that. The stadium had the capacity of 19 000 but they took 24 000 and most of them where standing. It is time that our people also understand that when the team is playing in Africa it is representing the whole nation,” Sibiya stated.
SuperSport are keen to add chin and scored in a second successive final as SuperSport clinched the MTN8 last month.
Even though he won’t be going to Russia next year, he can take Matsatsantsa to Morocco for the Caf Super Cup against Caf Champions League winners Wydad Casablanca.
There’s been a silver lining to every disappointment Brockie has endured this year.
