Myeni does not want to play for Sundowns

 

“At Downs careers go down” – Myeni

Bidvest Wits turned down Mamelodi Sundowns R2.2-million offer for Sifiso Myeni recently, but the player he does not want to go and warm the bench anyway.

In a brutally honest interview with KickOff.com Myeni, who turns 24 tomorrow, says he would rather go and play for Ajax Cape Town or SuperSport United, and asks the question: "Who is signing the players at Sundowns?"

Both clubs showed interest in his at one stage, although nothing materialised.

“I don’t want to go to Sundowns; I don’t think it would be the right move for me,” Myeni says.

“When you go to Sundowns your career goes down and I don’t want to be one of the victims. There is no coach there, so who is signing the players?

“For me it is better to go to a team where the coach wants you, not where team managers or bosses like you, because what will happen if the new coach comes and doesn’t like you?”

The Soweto-born midfielder says he has arranged a meeting with his coach Roger de Sa to let him know that he does not want to go to the Brazilians.

“I will meet with Roger to tell him I don’t want to go there, at the moment I’ve not heard anything, I just read on KickOff.com that they are interested in me,” he says.

“My dream is to play overseas and if I stay with Wits I think I will achieve that, now I’m also in the Bafana set-up and how can I continue to be with them while I’m not playing at Sundowns?

“If Wits agree to sell me to them the ball will be in my court and I don’t think I will agree terms with them, I don’t want to play for them.”
