Throughout the history of football there has always been a saying, football doesn’t care who you are and what you’ve achieved, it is played on a pitch with 11 versus 11. That is exactly what TUT Men’s Football is going through at the moment having played two matches, drawn one and heavily lost another - uncharacteristic of the defending champions.
However, if there is any team in this tournament that can turn things around, it’s the Red Army, led by their charismatic coach Bushy Moloi and backed by the fact that they’ve lifted this prestigious trophy on four previous occasions.
Coach Moloi is still adamant that they will change the situation.
“We know we have not started well, and we have ourselves to look at. But we have reflected on our mistakes and tried to correct them, we will see how our corrections went on Thursday when we play our third game.
“We are still confident that we will go to the semifinals and possibly the finals of this tournament, we are TUT after all”
On Thursday, shoulder to shoulder, eyeball to eyeball, they face table-topping UFS Men’s Football, who have been perfect thus far; two wins in two, six points out of six. If anything, this encounter promises to be nothing short of spectacular in many ways than one.
TUT are agonizingly missing last year’s talisman and leading goal scorer, Ronald Mabaso, who was incredibly impressive and imperative to what they did on the pitch, more so offensively. Nonetheless, this team needs a new hero who will puff out his cheeks and carry the team in this mini crisis they find themselves in, and this is the perfect game to roll up their sleeves and show courage.
