iDiski TV analyst Junior Khanye has reserved a comment for Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso in what he believes is overcoaching of attacking midfielder Siyanda Ndlovu.

Khanye’s sentiments come on the back of Ndlovu’s performance in his side’s CAF Champions League second preliminary round, first leg goalless draw away at Wiliete SC on Sunday.

The 23-year-old came on as one of the second-half substitutes in Lubango featuring for 20 minutes.

The former Kaizer Chiefs winger says his claim doesn’t in anyway question Skhwish’s quality and abilities but maintains he could play on just instruction.  

“I saw Ndlovu also coming in, he’s not the same Ndlovu like when he arrived at Sundowns,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.

“Not to say he’s bad player because he knows football, but I think he’s being coached too much. Sometimes coaches need to stop over coaching players. I see he doesn’t like to take on players going wide, he uses his own creativity that Sundowns would play with wingbacks and cut inside.

“A bit of advice for the coach, can you leave the boy to be himself, you can give him instruction that when you don’t have the ball this is what you must do.

“I mean his mind has to be sharp in the final third because the boy for me doesn’t have the same spark I know him to have and not to say he’s a bad player. It’s the thing of being over coached that he’s no longer has that spark.”
