Aperçu Neman Grodno

Downs' mentor has lauded the immediate impact of the highly-rated attacker following the forward’s return to Chloorkop. The South African international has hit the ground running in his second stint with the Brazilians, proving that home is truly where the heart is after a difficult period abroad.

The Brazilians defender believes the Tshwane giants have surmounted their MTN8 setback against Golden Arrows and have turned their attention towards the midweek Premier Soccer League fixture against AmaZulu. The 31-year-old player is upbeat ahead of the home meeting, claiming his side do not concede defeats back-to-back.

CAF Champions League-winning coach Miguel Cardoso has acknowledged the challenges facing the experienced forward, backing the striker to rediscover his clinical touch despite a difficult start with the Brazilians. The 30-year-old has struggled for regular minutes and goals since arriving, but his coach remains confident that his breakthrough is close.

Former Brazilians defender Japie Motale has exhorted the club’s fans to focus on the long-term vision of head coach Miguel Cardoso at Chloorkop and not only see the team’s early results of the new campaign. The Tshwane giants recorded their first defeat of the season on Sunday, in the MTN 8 semi-finals, prompting murmurs from many supporters online.
