A huge appetite for goals
Peter Shalulile is still hungry, still flamboyant and slowly winning the hearts of Mamelodi Sundowns fans with his impressive display in the Brazilians' colours.

Mamelodi Sundowns and Brave Warriors goal poacher Peter Shalulile believes he can still improve his form if he works harder.
The Namibian has already scored four goals for the club he joined this season.
Shalulile's latest goal came against TS Galaxy in his club's 2-0 league match victory played on Tuesday evening.
“I think I have been settling in well and I am happy with the contribution I have made to the club in my first seven matches so far.
“My teammates and coaches are happy for me and that makes the job as a striker much easier.
“I am proud of the response by the fans and I am grateful for how they have welcomed me at this club.
“They even made a song for me here and that is something beyond my wildest dreams,” Shalulile said in a telephonic interview.
Can improve
Scoring four goals in seven matches would sound satisfactory for many, but Shalulile is hungry and gunning for more.
He has already scored against Kaizer Chiefs, AmaZulu, Stellenbosch and now TS Galaxy this season, playing over 500 minutes for his new club.
The striker feels he has much more to offer his new club and his goals are just the beginning of good things to come.
“Yes, I am happy with how things started here but I still feel like I need to improve on my finishing.
“It is always important for a striker to work on his chances becau se every chance counts.
“I do not want to be a player who only scores one goal out of many chances but I have to score many goals on a few chances,” Shalulile said.
Shalulile last season bagged 19 goals in all competitions for his former club, Highlands Park, and finished joint top goal-scorer with 15 goals in the league.
He already has his sights set on improving on last season's goal tally by working harder on the training ground.
Virgil's clean sheet
Another Namibian who starred on Tuesday was Brave Warriors and Moroka Swallows goalkeeper Virgil Vries, who recorded his fourth clean sheet of the season in his club's 2-0 victory over Maritzburg United.
Vries has started six matches for his club and has conceded only two goals so far.
