Komphela Makes Soweto Derby Claim

Mamelodi Sundowns senior coach Steve Komphela has advised Nasreddine Nabi and Jose Riveiro to enjoy Saturday’s Soweto Derby.

It will be Nabi’s first derby, while Jose Riveiro has experienced five, winning three (the last three that were played) and losing two.

Komphela knows the Soweto Derby, the pressure and expectations that come with it all too well from his time at Naturena and insisted the coaches must enjoy this special occasion.

“Enjoy the moment, it’s going to be a hell of a vibe,” he said.

“Listen when Pirates and Chiefs play at FNB, why is it month-end? So that we can have money to go and watch it. All those dates are month-end.

“Because it is an occasion, so that people can go out and watch them. Why are they dressing smartly? Because it reflects the culture and traditions of South Africa.

“Then players have to go on the park and play, and then we’ll review after – people must enjoy the moment.”

While Pirates and Chiefs are in action on Saturday, Sundowns face Golden Arrows on Sunday.
