Sundowns scored 8 against La Passe in CAF Champions League. This is a record beacuse 8 goals is not something we see in football everyday. To score 8 you must be a special team and indeed Mamelodi Sundowns is a special team.
“We cannot afford to lose focus, even though we are leading 7-0. We have to remain focused and go for more goals and records. At Sundowns the culture is about winning every match. We do not know what the record is for Caf matches, but we can keep scoring more goals. Other players will also be working hard to impress the coaches and to win a place in the starting line-up,” Mkhulise said.
“For my growth, I think I have to listen to the coaches. I have to work hard, I have to run, I have to score goals, I have to assist, that’s what they tell us. You must always work hard and stay focused because when you get a chance, you must be ready and take it,” he added.
“Very few people know that he is one of the best dribblers in the country … But it is just that he is an introvert and he is not arrogant, as we would like him to be. Arrogant and offensive players can determine the result of a game. In terms of establishing and consolidating our play, he is one player we will always go back to and say ‘make the team play’ when we are not playing very well,” Mngqithi said.
“One of the reasons we promoted him is because we wanted something close to Themba Zwane, a player who can help us in the attacking third. It’s something nice and refreshing when I hear the boy talking the way he talks because this is the kind of talk we have about him with the other coaches,” he added.
“We’ve already started trying to get as much information about the opposition as we possibly can.” Rhulani Mokwena told the Mamelodi Sundowns website.
“Fortunately they played Volcan club in the previous round and we were able to get footage of that match.
“They have quite a few interesting football players and a few interesting schemes from a tactical perspective.” the Mamelodi Sundowns coach continued.
“Already you can see a very direct team that has a lot of physicality because of the profile.
“They have some players that already play for the Seychelles National team, two Madagascans and very good players that represent the national teams.”
“Mamelodi Sundowns still have to play the 90 minutes with the same attitude, and have a good mentality against a team that is well organized.”
