NEO MAEMA ON MAMELODI SUNDOWNS TEAM SELECTIONS
“Individually, I would say it’s very difficult but the coaches made it very clear that we have a very big squad and we have a lot of competitions to play,” Maema told the media.
“So I’m just one that takes instructions from the coaches. It’s very difficult as we want to keep the momentum by playing more to actually get to the level that you want.
“But with many competitions and a lot of players that we have, you can only push and show up when you’re given a chance to play,” the Sundowns attacker added.
“It’s actually great because we have a lot of players so we have a lot of competition at the club and with the guys that have been starting, it’s always important to keep the same intensity to keep them on their toes.
“Everyone is fighting for their places in the starting line-up. It’s very important for the team to win these types of games.
“The rotation is good for us to get some minutes. Individually, it’s great to be back on the pitch after so long not playing but I’m focusing on helping the team more” the Sundowns star concluded.
Coming up next is the Carling Knockout semifinal against Marumo Gallants.
