Top 10 quotes from PSL coaches

snl24.com/kickoff looks back at the 10 most memorable quotes from PSL coaches in 2018/19.   1. Pitso Mosimane after Kaizer Chiefs attacker Khama Billiat won man of the match against Sundowns on the opening weekend of the season.   "I thought it was the voting again. You know Chiefs has many supporters. So when you vote they will out-vote everybody. I thought it was this sms again, like the Shell Cup. I saw people voting for Man of the Match. I mean really. But it's okay, I respect."   "Who chooses the Man of the Match? Don't you want to ask him the question? How do you choose? Maybe you [journalists] can help us. The ghost who chooses the Man of the Match. I mean which angle does he come from?"   2. Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Giovanni Solinas described Billiat as "Messi"   "Guys - Barcelona play with 10 players plus [Lionel] Messi. At Kaizer Chiefs we play with 10 players plus Billiat. Billiat is the best player in the PSL. He's a top-class player in my opinion. Maybe someone will disagree‚ but in my personal opinion he's an unbelievable player‚ a fantastic player. He's a player who makes the difference. He's not a player for the PSL - sorry guys. But this player is for Europe."   3. Cape Town City coach Benni McCarthy has a go at Chiefs defender Teenage Hadebe for kicking his players.   "We started okay, wasn't too bad. But you could see the intentions from Chiefs were clear, and what I was expecting from my team, we didn't do that. We started playing Kermit Erasmus, a 5 foot 2 player, against the big giants who want to hurt players, the Hadebes of today you know, because he does it over and over and over again. Players who have no intentions of just winning clean balls, he takes anything else off the spot and if he gets away with it, why [should he] stop?   "So yeah we started to play into Chiefs' hands and when the ball doesn't get to us, then you start seeing players doing things they are not supposed to do, and that was the case."   4. Nikola Kavazovic has a go at former Free State Stars coach Luc Eymael for apparently leaving the club in a mess.   "Even though I'm trying to improve this club, players individually, it's not easy because I found a dirty, rubbish side which was left by the former coach, players are struggling mentally," he said.   "You know who made this mess, I had to clean that mess first then compete. To be honest right now we can't threaten anyone, it's a reality, the only positive result we can get now is avoiding automatic relegation."   5. Pitso Mosimane on referee Abongile Tom.   "Like [Victor] Hlongwane, you know that he lets the smaller things go, he lets the game go, but this one [Abongile Tom] is whistle-happy... tswiri tswiri every minute. I mean really. I don't say it's not fouls but he loves the whistle.   "He stops the game so many times. He is whistle-happy. He is happy to blow. Anyways let's give him a chance to grow," he added.    6. Highlands Park coach Owen da Gama reveals a PSL club made a R10 million for midfielder Mothobi Mvala   "No, there is no chance of us selling Mothobi Mvala. A team offered us R10m and we refused. I can't divulge the name of the team. Highlands Park is not a selling team. All these players have two years or more on their contracts,"   7. Golden Arrows coach Steve Komphela responds to questions about not winning a trophy in his coaching career.   "Also people forget about the COSAFA Cup you won with the national team, they only remember what they want to remember. "I'm not desperate for winning cups, I never compare [myself] with God."   8. Former Chippa United coach Joel Masutha talking about trigger happy chairman Chippa Mpengesi.   "When I took the job I told myself that even if people are saying that he will fire me‚ I believe that I will fire him!. That is the attitude that is going to carry me through."       9. Mosimane after Sundowns lost to SuperSport United and there was still a disciplinary case against them pending.   "Let's try the Champions League and put our energies on that. But you never know how football is. Sometimes the gods can change fortunes around and you still have a chance. But it's okay, let the league go where it's supposed to go.       10. Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt after Phakamani Mahlambi scored against the Clever Boys.   "They [Sundowns] pay his wages, he can do what he likes," Hunt said when he was asked about Mahlambi's celebration. This thing of players kissing badges is nonsense. Who pays your wages? They pay his wages, so he can do whatever he likes. We made our money [by selling him to Al Ahly]."
