Magesi coach Clinton Larsen is mindful that their maiden season in the Betway Premiership won't be a walk in the park, aiming to garner 30 points as quickly as they can to boost their survival hopes.
Magesi are rookies in the elite league after winning the Motsepe Foundation Championship last season. The newly promoted side unveiled 12 new signings a few weeks ago, with former Kaizer Chiefs winger Kgaogelo Sekgota and ex-Mamelodi Sundowns striker Gift Motupa headlining that list of newcomers.
“We must not be naive. This [the Premiership] is not the ABC Motsepe League or the NFD, I think we need to get to 30 points as quickly as possible. Our main target... let's get to 30 points and let's see where we're at that point in the league,'' Larsen said.
“I am not here to talk about anything else because I understand how tough it is to be in this division, so for me, I want the team that's going to go there and represent the club and fight. If it's top eight [that they eventually achieve], so be it and if it's not, we need to go out and work harder.''
Even so, Larsen suggested that they will play an enterprising brand of football, believing the players they have will allow them to do so.
