Mokwena wants more from new signing Thapelo Maseko

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena wants more from new signing Thapelo Maseko.

The 19-year-old midfielder was signed from SuperSport United a few weeks ago and has already hit the ground running.

Mokwena is not happy with his side despite back-to-back wins in the opening two DStv Premiership games. His side face Moroka Swallows in the MTN8 quarter-finals on Saturday.

Following a 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday, Mokwena says he wants more from his charges.

“He (Thapelo Maseko) can do better,” Mokwena was quoted on The Citizen.

“I’m proud and happy we’re making progress but he knows my feelings that he can do better. (I want) more end product because being busy doesn’t really mean being effective.

Mokwena says the club needs to be patient with Maseko

“Like I said about Maseko, I still believe Lucas Ribeiro can give us more but with all the new players, we have to be patient and support them.

“They get hugs from me for a very good performance but they will also get to understand me more, like the players who have been with me, that I’m very difficult to satisfy. Even when they give more, I still expect a little bit more,” Mokwena said.
