|||Johannesburg - Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane is thrilled to have an attacking trio currently in red-hot form.
By now, most South African fans will be familiar with the phrase 'CBD', standing for Leonardo Castro, Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly, the trio having been regular match winners for the past couple of months, playing big roles in helping the Brazilians move into top gear.
Castro and Billiat were again on target as Sundowns beat Orlando Pirates 2-1 on Wednesday night to open up a nine point gap at the top of the Absa Premiership standings. Enjoying the current success is Mosimane, who has compared his three star players to a famous trio of Barcelona stars.
“We mix things up in attack. We can play short, long, fast or slow. We are unpredictable with how Leo, Khama and Dolly play. We tell Khama, Leo and Dolly to think like Messi, Neymar and Suarez. It's about the brotherhood of the three - to share the goals.
“Leo is a silent killer. Defenders are busy with Dolly and Khama, but they forget that Castro is the most dangerous. He is intelligent,” said Mosimane.
Billiat has eight league goals this season, Castro six (plus two in the cup), and Dolly three (as well as two in the cup), the South African under-23 star also influential in creating goals for his partners up front. - African News Agency (ANA)
