Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena has addressed the criticism the team received recently, particularly after the side failed to have any shots on target against Orlando Pirates. SLSiya MORE:
Sundowns boosted their confidence with a 7-0 thrashing of Seychelles outfit La Passe in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round, first leg match at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday.
"Against Pirates for example, our positioning was top in the first half. We might not have used the ball very well but we dominated the pitch. That's why even the duels, the second balls, the things when the ball was not falling nice for us, people were sleeping. You always have a player close-by to counter press," he said.
Mokwena also compared their big win over Kaizer Chiefs earlier in the season with their recent game against Pirates in the MTN8 semi-final first leg and says they needed a different type of striker against the Buccaneers because they play differently.
