On Friday, Chippa United’s coach Morgan Mammila told his players that he does not know how to “park the bus” following their 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the DStv Premiership. Despite the defeat, Mammila felt his side gave a good account of themselves and could have done better for the two goals conceded.
“To be honest my boys came to play football and I told them, I don’t know what is parking the bus and I’m not going to learn it now,” Mammila told SuperSport after the game.

The Chippa tactician added that his side should have scored one goal, but felt they were not getting the fouls they deserved. When asked if Ronaldo Maarman should have started the game, Mammila said, “No, the thing is we had to come and stop the Sundowns train first and once you stop the Sundowns train first, then you can start playing.”
Mammila praised Maarman’s performance, saying, “Maarman is not a player who can come deeper and mark, we play players according to their strong points, we brought him in at the right time, he came in and did very well. And that’s why sometimes substitutes or reserve players are the match winners and we nearly won the match today because of him.”
