TS Galaxy wary of Peter Shalulile threat

“We’ve seen the quality Sundowns possesses in their previous games. We know they have a great squad and they are playing fantastic football at the moment – they are top of the log and I don’t think it’s a fluke that they are there,” TS Galaxy captain Given Msimango said.

“Facing them this weekend is going to be a tough task for us. But we have prepared properly for it physically and mentally. Yes Mamelodi Sundowns has a very dangerous attack, we’ve prepared very well for it. We’ve planned for anything that will come accordingly and so it’s up to us to apply ourselves properly when it comes to game day.

“Peter Shalulile is my former teammate of course. I don’t think that will play any role, because the player that he was then and the player he is now are two different things. He’s in fantastic form, a quality striker, scoring a lot of goals for Mamelodi Sundowns.

“We are very much aware of his strengths, but not only his strengths – there are a lot of other players we need to be wary of. It’s our duty as a team not to focus only on one player, but to try and prepare for the team as a collective and go there and execute our plan.”
