Neeskens: All to do

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens believes his team has what it takes to get off the foot of the Premier Soccer League table, but can only rely on themselves to do it.

Sundowns have been rooted to the bottom of the league for the last two weeks and have failed to amass a single win since their opening day victory over Chippa United.

The Brazilians managed to scrape a draw against AmaZulu at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville on Wednesday night with Neeskens calling on his players to do what it takes to start winning matches.

He also hopes his side's Telkom Knockout Challenge semi-final triumph can prove as an inspiration for the remainder of the season.

"The ball is now in the players' court, said Neeskens.

"They have to play every game now as if it is a final and only then can we come out of this situation. I don't expect beautiful football from them because, in this situation, you cannot expect that.

"The players can do it, because they showed it four days ago (against SuperSport United in the Telkom Knockout Challenge), but today I was not happy."

Downs travel to the Free State next for two matches against Bloemfontein Celtic in the space of a week. Neeskens will be expecting good results in this League and Cup double header.
