Mohammed Anas reveals he is excited to join TS Galaxy

Mohammed Anas has revealed that he is excited to join South African Premier League side TS Galaxy.

The 26-year-old who joined TS Galaxy on a two-year deal from relegated Black Leopards, claims he informed his teammates that he is not at the club to “fight for a position.”

“I am very happy to join TS Galaxy,” he said.

“I was upset about myself over the weekend because I did get a chance, and you know us strikers, we don’t normally get chances so easily.”

Anas, who was unable to score in his side’s goalless draw with Kaizer Chiefs over the weekend, is lamenting the wasted opportunities in the stalemate.

“So the first chance you get, you must be clinical and punish (the opposition), but I didn’t do that. I won’t put my head down and I need to fight more and see the way forward. The target (15 goals) is still there,” he said.

Anas has guaranteed that his team would provide three points when they face Stellenbosch on Wednesday, despite his disappointment with the outcome of the game against Chiefs.

“Stellenbosch wingers they are speedy (and) they like to run, and stay behind the defenders. We are mature, and our left-back and right-back are focused. So everything is going to be (go very) well and we need three points there at Stellenbosch,” he said.

“We are here together as a family and it’s up to us to go into the field and show the family (atmosphere) we always preach about. We must be together and organise nicely on the field of play. I think once we can do that, then we’ll have more chances to win.”

Anas stated that he told his teammates that he is not at Galaxy to compete for a place.

“I am more settled here (TS Galaxy) and I know a few of (the) players. I’ve played with them before at Maritzburg United and Free State (Stars),” he said.

“When I came here, I told (the players) that I am not here to fight with anyone, I am not here to cause problems or fight for anyone’s position,”

“But I want them to love me as they love themselves”

“It doesn’t matter whether we have five strikers or not, I always say we are one at TS Galaxy. For me, I don’t have competition, it doesn’t matter who plays or sits in the stands,”

“There were more opportunities for us to win that game but it couldn’t happen, we must now move forward to the next game,” he ended.
