Outspoken Chippa United coach Morgan Mammila believes his players can match those of defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns pound for pound.The Chilli Boys host the Brazilians in their Premier Soccer League clash at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha on Saturday and Mammila says little separates the teams.Chippa, who are looking for their first win of the campaign, go into this clash after coming from behind to pull off a morale-boosting 1-1 draw against Orlando Pirates on Tuesday night.
Sundowns have not lost a league match in 27 outings since September 2022 and Mammila said it would be exhilarating for Chippa to beat the Brazilians.“It will be a dream for every coach to break a record — I will be the happiest man if Chippa United become the first team to beat Sundowns after such a long time.
“But for that to happen we must work hard. Sundowns are not a good side because of luck, it is due to hard work and planning. Sundowns are clinical in front of goal.”Asked how they could beat Sundowns, Mammila said Chippa has to stop them from having the ball and put pressure on their right side.“You need to go deeper on where they are very good. What makes them classy is visible.
