We work hard every day and it\u2019s good to see that coming into matches. The players are fearless and analyze the opposition before matches. When we play at home, we make it about us and we use a different style We pressed them high and make things difficult for them,\u201d said McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>The result marked a sixth league win for Usuthu from seven games and sees them move up to fifth in the league. Prior to the season, club owner Sandile Zungu\u2019s vision of a top-four finish for the club this season was considered by most to be a bit over-ambitious, though based on the club\u2019s form, it\u2019s hard to argue that a top four finish now is just an over-ambitious dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy with the three points. We are now in touch with the leading clubs in the league. The international break comes at a time where we didn\u2019t want a break but wanted to continue as we are on a good run and could have picked up more points,\u201d said McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy paid tribute to goalkeeper Veli Mothwa. Since joining Usuthu from Chippa United in November, the 30-year-old has made the first-choice keeping position at the club his own. Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki rewarded the shot-stopper for his consistency with a first call-up to the national team squad that will feature against Ghana and Sudan this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been excellent for us and is a direct threat to first-choice Ronwen Williams. At first, I just thought it would be a great opportunity for him but I think he has all the qualities to push Ronwen which will only be a benefit to Bafana,\u201d said McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>AmaZulu\u2019s next clash will be a league encounter against basement club Black Leopards at the Thohoyandou Stadium in Limpopo after the international break.<\/p>\n<p>@eshlinv<\/p>\n<p><b>IOL Sport<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
