Mamelodi Sundowns have been signing quality players in recent years. And what's interesting about those players is that most of them are players who understand the importance of playing where they are needed.
Mzikayise Mashaba
'Mzi' was singed from Free State Stars as a left winger, However, at Downs, we saw him growing in a different way, as he's currently preferred mostly as a left back. This tells you about the mentality which quality players can bring in a big club.
Asavela Mbekile
The former Moroka Swallows middle fielder, was brought into Chloorkop and he was successfully converted to a right back defender, knowing that Masandawana had enough experienced midfielders. Therefore, he had no choice but to opt to other position, as he's currently mastering the right back.
Thapelo Morena
The former Bloemfontein Celtic winger, was also converted to a right back, due to insufficient vacancies on the wings. In that way, he was converted to a right back, and truth be told he is also blossoming in that position.
Furthermore, this is proving to be the main secret to Pitso's successful run, because it's more like he's playing only attacking players, hence they look deadly when they're on attack. Perhaps other clubs should do the same, and may Chiefs could benefit by converting Gordinho to a striker, since he's been scoring goals.
Having said that, do you think Pitso is benefiting more by converting players?
