Golden Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi on the PSL title race: I still do not know if it will decided on the last day but I am enjoying the competition
Manqoba Mngqithi has decided to take an objective view on the Betway Premiership title race.
The Golden Arrows coach has been vocal about how Mamelodi Sundowns would not be dethroned from the championship seat but after the 5-0 defeat to Pirates last night, he has changed his view.
Mngqithi now said he has decided to enjoy watching the race unfolds without concluding on where the PSL title may end up.
“I don’t know if the title will be decided on the last day. So, I can’t talk about that,” he stated when asked about his thoughts on the title race.
“But what I can say, I like the competition. And I’ve said this even before; I like the competition that Pirates has brought into the championship.
“And so far, so good, but we still have so many games. But it’s just interesting to note that this season, normally when we come to this stage of the season there is one team that is already leading with 12/13 points, that’s why we are even starting to think that it will be decided in the last match when we still have seven games to be played.
“No. So, the reality is, there are still 21 points out there and there is a lot that can still happen, but it excites everyone in South Africa who follows football to see this pressure that is imposed by Pirates on Sundowns and I’m so keen to see what’s going to happen.”
