The Brazilians’ have already secured League honours after beating University of Pretoria in Tshwane last week, and face second-placed Wits this week as a mere formality.
But Mosimane is hungry for more, wanting his side to achieve the initial objective they set for themselves. “We’ve got nothing to lose, but we’ve got pride to play for and we have integrity to play for,” he said.
“We have set our goals for the number of points we want to achieve. We want to pass our target of 65 points that won us the league before. So we are competing with ourselves - we want to do better and we don’t want to lose against Wits.
” Downs will end the season against Platinum Stars on May 21 where they will be handed the Absa Premiership trophy, and Mosimane is determined to end the campaign in style. “I don’t want other coaches to be upset with me now if I let [the game] go,” he said.
“I have to be a gentlemen and play my best team even against Platinum Stars. I wouldn’t like to raise the trophy after losing [against Stars].”
