As long as they\u2019re still involved in football, there\u2019s a certain standard that they supposed to keep about the profession. Since, they\u2019re regarded as role models and they cannot be seen in night clubs, drinking alcohol and around numerous women. Also, just throwing parties recklessly, drinking and driving as well as involved in some abusive relationships, amongst other things. Now, Steve Komphela has recruited some players that are known for misbehaving at their previous clubs. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/52276908752b46cbaa7203fcfd1deded\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Which has affected their football journey, hence they\u2019ve been moving to different teams in the DStv Premiership. As it seems like some technical team cannot keep up with their misbehaviours. Swallows FC didn\u2019t waste time during the transfer window as they recruited ten players,  the so-called bad boys in the league namely Andile Jali, Dumsani Zuma and Gabadinho Mhango. However, the former Kaizer Chiefs mentor stated that he loves working with players that have been labeled with certain terms as he knows how to give them a second chance. In fact, he felt they\u2019re just misunderstood since they \u201cact out of the norm\u201d at times. \u201cI beg to differ\u2026 I have geniuses. They act slightly out of the norm,\u201d said Komphela speaking to the media. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/a233fec15327416a859c47f69e1d4692\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the former Mamelodi Sundowns first team coach stated that he loves working with players that the football fraternity doesn\u2019t approve of at times as he feels that they have something unique to offer at Swallows. \u201cSo, when you have such super stars, you have to deal with it. It\u2019s not easy to deal with super stars and geniuses,\u201d said Komphela speaking to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Source: www.sowetanlive.co.za<\/p>\n<p>Source Link: https:\/\/www.sowetanlive.co.za\/sport\/soccer\/2023-08-12-i-love-them-komphela-says-of-the-troublesome-players-hes-working-with-at-swallows\/<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: WeLoveSports (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
