Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane insists his side are still under ‘construction’ after losing key players Khama Billiat and Percy Tau.

The Brazilians returned to winning ways after claiming a 3-1 victory over Free State Stars in their Absa Premiership encounter on Wednesday evening.

Mosimane has called on the Sundowns supporters to be patient as he believes his side will begin to regain their form as the season goes on.

‘Lebogang Maboe also played well. A very good player. Works hard, finer details. We are not yet there. We are in construction and everybody must be patient with us,’ Mosimane told SuperSport TV after the game.

‘We have lost important players. Free-flowing players in the team. We should be patient. It will come right. Some teams take five years to get it right and haven’t won.

‘I mean, if Liverpool can take years to win a trophy, we should be patient. It is not going to come now.’
