CAPE TOWN - When Cape Town City host Wits at the Cape Town Stadium on
Wednesday night (kick-off 7.30pm), it’ll highlight two of the most conspicuous
features of this season’s PSL: City’s attacking axis of Lebogang Manyama and Aubrey
Ngoma against the Clever Boys’ superb structure and organisation, which
includes some top-class defenders like Buhle Mkhwanazi, Thulani Hlatshwayo,
Sifiso Hlanti and Nazeer Allie.
City’s two star attackers Manyama and Ngoma said they were
really looking forward to the encounter against Wits. The two players
acknowledged the quality of the opposition, but remained confident that, in the
end, the team ethic at the heart of City’s success this season, would carry the
day.
“We know what we are up against,” said Manyama at City's
press conference on Tuesday afternoon. “Wits are a powerful side – but, for us,
the performance has always been about the whole team – and it will be no
different against Wits.
“What’s worked for us this season is that we’ve always taken
things one game at a time. We have seven games remaining, but all our focus is
only on the challenge of Wits, nothing else… We are as calm as ever, we will
keep going as a team and we will, as always, give it our best shot.”
For Ngoma, it was just about City doing what they have been
doing all season long: “I think for every player, it’s about consistency. We
just want to carry on where we left off in the last game.
“Yes, we know how good Wits are, but we will focus on
ourselves. We know what has made us successful this season and we will continue
to do so.”
