Allan Freese: Magesi survival fight needs everyone

The experienced mentor, appointed two months ago to steer the Limpopo outfit away from relegation danger, believes responsibility must be shared evenly across the squad. 

Following a 3-0 win over Marumo Gallants in midweek, forward Thabang Sibanyoni grabbed the headlines after rediscovering his scoring touch, however, Freese was quick to stress that survival will not rest solely on the attackers. 

"We need everybody – at this present time, there's no player that we don't need. And like you say, we're experienced, yes, we also need that," said Freese.

"[Sibanyoni] scored a beautiful goal and I'm happy about that, that he scored a goal as a striker, so it gives him confidence going forward."

Magesi face crosstown rivals Sekhukhune United on Saturday evening, hoping to build momentum from their victory over Gallants. 

"It's always good scoring goals, it counts going forward. At the end of the day, maybe we're going to need those three goals, you can never know," he added.

"But I'm very happy about the performance of the boys, we played according to the way we wanted to play, and I'm happy about that – we created far more chances, which we could have also scored more of, but it was three goals and we played well.

"That was our aim, we were playing at home, [we must] get the three points and then look forward to the next game. Now what we'll do is go back, prepare for the next game going forward, and that's what we're happy about."
