'We want to build a certain way of playing but at the same time we want to continue winning,' says Mokwena.
That’s according to their head coach Rulani Mokwena who is sticking to his guns of playing eye-catching football despite the failures of last season in the competition.
Despite playing some eye-catching football in the last campaign, The Brazilians came up short when it mattered the most against Wydad Casablanca in the semi-finals. “We want to build a certain way of playing but at the same time we want to continue winning and that’s a collective effort. That’s training, playing and understanding of small details. It will come but it takes a bit of time especially when you have a lot of games but we will improve.”
“The bare minimum and expectations is to make sure that the team is always in the group stage,” said Mokwena who was an assistant coach to Pitso Mosimane when Sundowns won the coveted competition in 2016.
