Tshepang Mokaila's Impact Behind Yanga's Explosive Start

A significant amount of work has been done by fitness coach Tshepang 'Chyna' Mokaila so far this season.

While many are praising coach Manqoba Mngqithi for his tactics, which have already begun causing problems for opposing teams, it is important to recognise that he has a group of players who have been well prepared to execute his tactical plan.

In their three Premier League matches, Yanga have scored 11 goals, providing clear evidence of just how far they have outperformed their opponents.

After Manqoba was appointed, he recommended that Mokaila's contract be extended. Although some people failed to understand the decision last season, what the players are showing now appears to confirm the argument that Yanga's biggest problem last season was fatigue caused by a thin squad.

Look at the pace with which Yanga play when they have possession, but also watch how quickly they press and chase the ball when it is with their opponents.

On average, Yanga have enjoyed 70 percent possession, making them the most dominant team in the league so far this season.

It is now clear that those who questioned Mokaila's ability have their answers as to why Yanga agreed to extend his contract following Manqoba's recommendation that he be retained as part of the new technical bench.
