Mamelodi Sundowns coach Steve Komphela said his mens have to continue being disciplined as the Dstv Premiership is far away from finishing.

Sundowns won against TS Galaxy on Tuesday and comfort their first position on the league table.

And their boss Steve Komphela said since adversity is breakfast for the champions, Sundowns have to be disciplined.

“Ja, a difficult evening and we knew that it was not going to be a game that would be played through tactics, technique or whatever but from a physical point of view you could see that okay we’re starting to drop, even towards the end of the first-half,” Komphela told SuperSport TV, via Kickoff.

“We dropped towards the end of the match, naturally so but I think the most important is the mental part of it. There are stages where you just have to focus, mind over matter. Destructions will always be there but champions will always say, they feed and thrive on challenges.

“Adversity is the breakfast for champions and compliment must be given to them and as well TS Galaxy, they played good football and I think coming to the resulting penalty, uncharacteristic of them to be playing a crossing game, they are more possession-based,” he went on.

“So when they started crossing you go, ‘Oh, this is not them’ but a team that starts to lose character when circumstances and challenges start to be a little bit dynamic you think different, which is something that worked for us.”

“I must thank these players, all they said was that. ‘We know what we’re going through, it doesn’t need an explanation, we’re doing this for the supporters of Mamelodi Sundowns, we’re doing this for a family that is facing a challenge and predicament, yet undefined.

”We shall remain disciplined and focused while looking at how does it unfold, even in the midst unfolding in ways we don’t expect, we need to remain disciplined”. Steve Komphela concluded.
