Though he insists winning the champions League is not an obsession for Mamelodi Sundowns, coach Rulani Mokwena believes they have the capacity to reclaim the coveted trophy.
“I have to believe we have the capacity to win the Champions League. If I don’t have that belief then I shouldn’t coach Sundowns,” he said this week as they prepared to take on Cameroonian side Coton Sport at Loftus on Saturday night .“We have very good players, we have players that have the ambition of being in that space. Yes, for sure I believe that and do I think it's going to be easy, no.“It is not going to be easy, look at the quality of the teams that are in the quarterfinals already.
We want to finish first and make sure that we complete the group stages with the same excellence that we played with every single match now.“Winning is a habit, it sounds clichéd but it's important. If you are going to the knockout rounds you need to know the feeling of knowing how to win important games and this is the mentality we are taking into the next match.”“We took the liberty of the break to manage the squad. We had a couple of players that needed a bit more work than others.
