I'm a Kaizer chiefs supporter and I'm telling U something very right is happening in that team to hell with the money this, money that I mean players leave that team and get to other teams and flop But with the same breath players leave other teams and get to they team and the attitude changes and they flourish. Look at CBD that couldn't do anything outside of that team and now look at how Lorch has found his form in a big way that's just few examples.

Most of the videos you used are from last season. Sundowns was playing 4-4-2 diamond, they had played without wingers, they relied heavily of overlaps from fullbacks for width. This season is different, players have changed positions. Modiba (left back) is an attacking midfielder, Zungu (a central midfielder) plays as a centreback when the team is off position. The team plays with 3 at the back (1 natural centreback and 2 fullbacks) The 2 fullbacks play more as wide centrebacks in a back 3 rather than traditional fullbacks, they don't overlap. Zungu joins Kekana at centreback to form a back 4 when the team is off possession. Everything you see at Sundowns is what you see at Man City

@user-qp1yq1ke7i 3 ай бұрын

Pep has never coached a team with limited resources but I'm pretty sure you think he's the best. So why do you have a different opinion on rulani??? It's a shallow minded statement, to think coaching a team with the financial muscle is easy especially for a young coach who also needs to manages all those egos and a the pressure of winning a cup/s every season. You just bitter and and condescending towards a young black coach being successful whereas you deemed him to fail

#FootballEducation I deleted my previous post about Rhulani Mokwena. I wanted a healthy debate with Rhulani's critics, unfortunately they can't engage in a constructive dialogoue. All they do is spew insults and vulgar. It makes one wonder, why are they personally affected by Rhulani's success. 🤔 Anyways, I wanted to expose the lies, jealousy and hypocrisy behind this anti-Rhulani gang. Some of us will not sit back and watch the success and excellence of a fellow black brother being undermined. I'm not trying to insinuate that Rhulani is perfect as a coach and as a person to the point he should not be criticized. He must be criticized, but constructively so. I don't agree with everything he says or does, but that does not take away his achievements and excellence. The anti-Rhulani gang are not critiquing Rhulani. They are just outright jealous and are out to assisinate his character. I will prove it to you in this post by unpacking the lies and misinformation behind all the reasons advanced against Rhulani as a coach. Let's unpack these arguments one by one: "Rhulani failed at Chippa United and Orlando Pirates." This is a lie that has been repeated too often that many have come to accept it as the truth. At Chippa United, Mokwena's time was disrupted by the Covid-19 outbreak which saw the league suspended and Rhulani Mokwena's short-term contract came to an end. Hereafter, he was invited by Pitso to rejoin Sundowns. At Chippa United, Rhulani had only coached one match, a 1-1 draw against Bidvest Wits. How, just how does a reasonable thinking person arrive at the conclusion that Rhulani's tenure at Chippa United was a failure? 🙆‍♂️ Shocking! At Orlando Pirates, Rhulani Mokwena was appointed as an interim coach, he was in charge of 14 matches; winning 4, drawing 5 and losing 5. Anyone who understands the concept and context of an interim coach - knows that Rhulani did not fail at Orlando Pirates. Rhulani was released as the interim coach of Orlando Pirates largely, due to the pressure from the fans. I mean the team from Naturena fired a coach who finished second due to the influence of their supporters. The Soweto teams listen to their fans. But the way Pirates were playing under Rhulani - the signs were there that something was brewing. Now let's deal with the argument that Rhulani Mokwena is benefitting from the foundation laid by Pitso Mosimane. This is a laughable argument because Rhulani Mokwena is part of the people who laid that foundation at Sundowns with Pitso Mosimane. He was the second assistant after Manqoba Mnqhithi. It's funny that people have no problem giving praise to Manqoba Mnqhithi for his contribution to Sundowns as an assistant coach, but they want us to believe that Rhulani was just a ball boy in that technical team who made no contribution. Yet, Pitso Mosimane was the one who predicted that as a head coach, Rhulani Mokwena will surpass him. And it's happening right in front of our eyes. Lastly, let's deal with the weakest of all arguments: "Anyone can coach Sundowns." 😂😂😂 They say anyone can coach Sundowns because of their bottomless budget. But there are many case studies around the world that prove that having the capacity to spend does not guarantee success. Look no further than Chelsea and Manchester United. Besides that, the people who are citing Sundowns' financial capacity as the only reason for their success are largely the same people who were laughing at Dr. Patrice Motsepe when Sundowns were losing despite Mostepe investing large sums of money into the club. Wait, so Sundowns once struggled despite Motsepe's investment? Yes! But I thought anyone can coach and succeed at Sundowns? 😂 Yes, Sundowns were successful before Rhulani took over as head coach. But the sheer dominance, enterprising football and respect for Sundowns all over the continent came under the leadership of Rhulani Mokwena. 👏 You can criticize Rhulani for his lack of emotional intelligence or his arrogance. But my friend, criticizing Rhulani for his tactical acumen just makes you a clown. 😂🤡 As I said, Rhulani is not perfect; both as a coach and a person. Like every one else, he is not above criticism. But only a heart filled with jealousy, envy and hatred can claim that what's happening at Sundowns is not Rhulani Mokwena's hard work (including his technical team and players). Educate. Develop. Inspire #WorldClassFootball

You have no idea what you are farting about! Maybe supersport can try to say that, but they sell their players, not give them mahala. That's the owner's business model, who are you? What nonsense did Rhulani buy from your useless Chiefs to make it perennially trophyless? Only a dumb Chiefs supporter would fart brainless comments here, a platform about Sundowns, not clowns! Williams begged to join us! Lorch, for instance, he faked his injuries to force a move out of Bucs...to join winners! Suddenly he is on top form and injury free! You have one big trophy, it's got a lying ass tongue in it! Use it to suck on our pain giving success

@mxolisimaome9651 3 ай бұрын

First it starts with removing good players from other teams by buying and put them in the stands /bench.... Literally Supersport is a feeder team to Sundowns... Is there a derby there No... Any players Pirates or Chiefs wants they buy even if they don't fit theier so called philosophy... You give him any PSL team he won't coach...it all depends of the money sundowns can spend... The money spent on buying players versus what they have earned cannot be recovered.. If we were to talk ROI... It's just simply that... Any coach can achieve what Rulani has "achieved" with a weakened opposition... Why are there no enquiries about his availability to coach anywhere else😢

Are you really using your brains to think ?? Are you aware that the same SSU you speak of is owned by one of the biggest monopolies in the country and Africa ? Or perhaps you don’t know that Stellenbosch is owned by the richest man in SA? MSD literally went on a 7yrs drought in the early years of the Motsepe ownership… Look at Man City, how long it took Pep to win the CL with it… If money directly translated to success then Liverpool shouldn’t have been successful as they are under the Jurgen Klopp era, Chelsea should’ve won all the trophies after spending a billion on transfers, Porto shouldn’t have won the CL, Leicester shouldn’t have won the prem… The MSD success you see today is only are merely the results of years and years of refining their system, structure, & philosophy… the same way you see them consistently getting knocked out at the quarters of the CAF every season, they’ll eventually get it right and will farm the CAF the same way they Farm the PSL… To address your transfer weightless arguments, anyone who’s a fan of football knows that for a team to be successful these days , you need to have an A, B and Sometimes C team, players need to be rotated due to the amount of games being played to avoid injury/fatigue on crucial players, Arsenal literally signed Raya so that Ramsdale can be a cup keeper, City signed Alvarez as a back up to halaand, a World Cup winning striker for that matter, don’t hear anyone yapping about it… Look at how city integrates their academy players into the first team… Look at how sundowns is doing it, look at how all the structures within Sundowns have Sundowns legends in them, from the juniors to goal keeping department, there’s a legend occupying a space there, a person who knows the philosophy and Identity of the club… Can you say the same about say Kaizer Chiefs ?? Is there a reason why Khune shouldn’t be getting trained and groom to be their goal keeping coach ?? Instead they’d rather focus on making simbas, just look at the state of the PSL teams and tell me they are failing because of sundowns and not due to their lack of seriousness, I mean a whole PSL team that pays players live on social media with envelopes and their chairperson can just start a game ?? Jomo was the coach, caretaker, bus driver, chef, of the the team, look at iconic teams like celtics & wits… The problem is that you’re using your emotions and not logic because your faves are mediocre and you don’t want to face the reality… Anyways, keep crying while we will be cruising nicely as we Bayern the PSL and will eventually Madrid the CAF
