“I think we are over and done with that one because we know that we didn’t do well. But since we are going to face them again, it is payback time because everyone is checking if we are going to bounce back since we didn’t do well in the MTN8,” he told the club s media department.
Mashiane thanked his team-mates for keeping his spirits up while he was out injured and feels he s on the way to getting back to top form.
“As I said before, I must not take all the credit. Credit should be given to the guys for pushing me since we all know that I have been out for a year with an injury,” he said.
Being in the spotlight by playing for the biggest club in the land can cause any player, especially a younger one, to lose focus and to let the fame go to his head.
When asked if this is ever a concern to him, Hunt made it clear where he stands on the matter. This club has had too many of those players, he told the media after Amakhosi s 0-0 draw against Stellenbosch FC at the Danie Craven Stadium on Saturday evening. We don t want those players, if I m here they won t be here, Hunt added. We ve had too many players like that so we have got to keep their feet on the ground and work hard.
