Mamelodi Sundowns star hints at an early retirement, as his time at Chloorkop continues to drain him and his desire to play football.
In the recent times, a number of Sundowns players have shown being unhappy at the club due to various reasons.
The latest to join the list of players is former now-defunct SuperSport United attacker Thapelo Maseko, who took to his Instagram account to share his frustrations and hint at a possible retirement.
“I don’t even know when it started, but lately, it’s like the fire in me is fading,” Thapelo stated on his Instagram story.
“I still train like my life depends on it. Still push through every tired muscle, every mental battle, but inside, it feels empty. The game that once lit up soul now feels different heavier and colder.
“It’s a strange kind of pain. Give everything you have yet feeling unseen. You tell yourself to keep going, but each day chips away at you.
“Your confidence starts to crumble, your joy fades, and the person you used to be feels like a memory you can’t reach anymore.
“The hunger, the excitement, [and] the love for the grind they,ve all been slipping away piece by piece. Now hope feels like something far off in the distance and I’m left wondering if I’ll ever get back to that place again.
“This is what it’s like to lose your spark and the hardest part [is] still showing up every single day. Paying you’ll find it again.”
