AmaZulu FC coach Benni McCarthy has revealed the main reason behind Usuthu’s failure to replicate last season's impressive run.
“Of course, you are kind of hoping that the same team that finished second in the league last season will still have the desire even though there weren't players coming in and challenging them for places in the team.”
McCarthy admits that they found it difficult to compete in both the Caf and domestic league with the team that he had at his disposal at the beginning of the season. “And this loss just ended massive pressure ... and in the league form we are just inside the top eight and psychologically it might just be one hurdle too many that we may not have the fight.
With their Champions League dream over, McCarthy now will chase a top four finish that the 44-year-old mentor believes is still possible.“With seven games to go, you can still achieve something special, a top four finish can still be possible but it all comes to the desire and the mentality of the players.,” McCarthy said.
