Mamelodi Sundowns star Thapelo Morena has issued a clear message to Orlando Pirates and the rest of the league, emphasizing the importance of staying focused on their domestic goals while maintaining their winning momentum. The talented winger has been in great form and shared his thoughts on his team’s current position and mindset heading into the crucial phase of the season.
Morena praised Sundowns’ mentality and attitude, highlighting the collective determination that drives the team forward. He explained that the team is fully aware of the importance of the upcoming league fixtures and the need to build on their recent performances. “We’ve been working hard to improve our record in the league,” he said. “We’re in a strong position right now, but we know that Orlando Pirates are only three points behind us, so it’s essential to stay focused and push for that extra distance. Our target is to widen the gap and create a buffer that will make it difficult for others to catch us.”
The 27-year-old went on to stress that the key to success in the league is consistency. “We’re not just aiming to win one or two games, but to build a sustainable winning streak,” he continued. “If we keep winning, it becomes increasingly hard for other teams to close that gap. And even when other teams win, that should push us even more because we know we can’t afford to slip up.”
Morena also reflected on how winning consistently not only benefits Sundowns in the domestic league but also keeps them sharp for their continental ambitions. “We’re preparing for the Champions League as well, and the level of competition is always intense,” he noted. “By maintaining our focus and pushing ourselves to perform well in every match, we’re ensuring that we’re in top shape for both local and international challenges.”
Ultimately, Thapelo Morena’s message was clear: Sundowns are determined to remain at the top of the league, and they understand that staying focused, maintaining momentum, and keeping a strong mentality are key to achieving their goals this season. He warned that while Orlando Pirates and other teams may be chasing them, Sundowns are ready to do whatever it takes to hold on to their lead and continue their dominant run.
