Johnson delighted with players

Platinum Stars coach Cavin Johnson says his side are enjoying their football at the moment and that there is great belief in the squad that they can have a special season.


Dikwena beat SuperSport United 1-0 on Saturday night to extend their current run to nine wins in their last 10 matches. They are now just a point behind Absa Premiership leaders Kaizer Chiefs.

“We take it one game at a time and we try to play as well as we can in each game,” Johnson said. “They [the players] now believe that they can play this game of football. These players love this game and their hard work has paid off.”

Johnson remains hesitant to talk about a title challenge just yet, but says they will just be concentrating on keeping their level of performance high.

“If we keep up our progress and we maintain our form going forward, who knows where we could end up? I am very proud of my players’ performance against a strong United team.

“We have done well, but as we have seen in the past, a winning team has a lot to lose,” he said. “The players understand that the league is tough, but we want to keep up the pressure and keep up our performances.”

Next up for Stars is a trip to Moroka Swallows for their final game of 2012 before a two-month break for the festive season and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
