"Big teams play everyday," Mashego remarked. "That's why when you come here today, there's a nice breakfast in the kitchen. You know at these other club that I played for, you find 10 players with pie crumbs around their mouth in the morning. But that's a topic for another day. 

He jokingly added: "Players stop by at Total or Engen garage to buy a steak & kidney pie. Next thing you asked to press [Lucas] Ribeiro, how are you going to do that with a pie and coke in your system?"
