Mamelodi Sundowns get started with their CAF Champions League second preliminary round after the first round came to an end. The Brazilians have been learning about their opponents La Passe FC, after seeing them compete in the first round with Volcan Moroni.
“It’s kind of difficult because we don’t know them but we just have to apply ourselves as we would with our usual games. We just have to take every match as seriously as we usually do.” Said Masandawana defender Khuliso Mudau.
The sensational Musina born star jumped ship two years ago from Black Leopards to the Champion side and has been breathtaking in his position. For his remarkable execution in the full back position, Mudau earned himself an international call up to the South African National team. Mudau attended the CAF Champions League press conference along with his Coach Rulani Mokwena, the 26-year-old recalled how he had to keep himself motivated while challenging some of the best defenders playing in his position at the club.
“As a player you just need to believe in yourself that maybe one day you’re going to make it and compete with those so-called big names. I told myself that if I have to compete then I will compete.”
His mentor added: “If there’s been a player that has been extremely consistent in his performances in the past two seasons it has to be Sailor, that is also a reflection of the quality that he is. Apart from [having] the qualities of being a top football player [he also has] the qualities of being a very good human being. He’s a difficult player to manage at training because you’ve got to stimulate him because he’s talented. When he says he wants to come here to learn and to improve, when you’re very good already, to stimulate you to be better is very, very difficult.”
We’re playing the fishermen @ home in both legs. Please give the fringe players some game time to gain fitness. We badly miss the likes of Riva and Domingo. Some game time will do them a world of good. Even Lebogang Maboe will be a good addition, given the situation we find ourselves in. But knowing our coaches very well, they’ll just continue with the same players who’re not giving us anything
Yaah but you need work on crosses you are very poor when it comes to cross
Great game& great
result especially rotating players one blemish was excluding Gift Motopa from the action of the day.Its a game like this that Zungu&Mbule must be given almost the better part of the game and not forgetting Cassius Mailula.But rotating players was what we needed, again Mokoena should have been rested,we have seen enough of him hayi,hayi that boy doesn’t come to the party at all.I was impressed by the number of chances created &scored.
