With eight days remaining until the DStv Premiership begins, Sekhukhune United skipper Linda Mntambo is optimistic that his team is prepared for the hectic January schedule.
The former Orlando Pirates midfielder stated that they are eagerly anticipating the resumption of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and are prepared for the upcoming hectic schedule.
“It’s nothing new, we are prepared for the back-to-back games that will occur in January,” Mntambo said. “If you look at how the season began, we were playing back-to-back games every other day, so it’s nothing new, something that we are used to.”
“During the Fifa World Cup break, we’ve been playing back-to-back friendlies to gauge our fitness level under our new coach, Brandon Truter. We are also becoming familiar with his playing style and game plan, and I believe we are almost ready to play our first game against Amazulu.”
Last Tuesday, Babina Noko strengthened their roster by signing defenders Mzwanele Mahashe and Philani Zulu.
Truter will attempt to make a statement when he faces his previous team after being fired from Usuthu due to a bad run of form.
On December 31, Sekhukhune will host AmaZulu at the Peter Mokaba Stadium to resume league play.
