Mamelodi Sundowns Player Mothobi Mvala Praises High-Energy Leadership of Coach Miguel Cardoso at Sundowns Training Camp

Mamelodi Sundowns’ midfielder Mothobi Mvala has shared his thoughts on working with the team’s new head coach, Miguel Cardoso.

Since joining the club, Cardoso’s dynamic and energetic approach has made a significant impact on the players, including Mvala.

Cardoso’s High-Energy Approach Motivates the Team

Mvala has praised Cardoso for his high-energy presence, noting how it has quickly rubbed off on the entire squad. “The coach came with a lot of energy, and that is rubbing off on the players.

He is a winner, and Sundowns always want to win everything,” Mvala said, speaking to Sowetan.

The midfielder believes the team’s quality and their ability to quickly adjust to Cardoso’s philosophy have been key to their success on the field.

Despite their current achievements, Mvala acknowledges there is still room for improvement.

“We just need to keep moving forward,” he said.

“We know that there is still room for improvement.”

The senior player also highlighted the importance of the team’s ongoing efforts, with regular debriefs after matches to address mistakes and areas for improvement.

He remains optimistic about the team’s future and believes they are heading in the right direction under Cardoso’s leadership.

Hugo Broos Raises Concerns About Sundowns’ Player Strategy

Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns has made headlines for their acquisition of the 23-year-old midfielder from Stellenbosch FC.

However, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has raised concerns regarding Sundowns’ player management strategy, especially considering the large number of players in their squad.

Broos, in an interview with iDiski Times, expressed his views on Sundowns’ approach to signing top players.

“I understand that Sundowns want the best players, and I also understand that they buy them because they have money,” Broos said.

“They have plenty of money, but at the end, what are you going to do with all those players?”

Broos Questions the Impact of Sundowns’ Squad Depth

Broos pointed out that while Sundowns’ squad depth is impressive, it raises questions about the opportunities for players, especially national team players, to get regular game time.

“I see Adams now, okay, we will see,” Broos commented.

He referred to players like Tashreeq Matthews, who, despite not playing every game, remains part of the national team setup.

Broos expressed concern over the number of internationals at Sundowns who are not getting enough playing time.

“It’s not about being good enough,” Broos said.

“You have to replace players at a certain moment, not because they are not good enough but because they are not playing.”

A Realistic Perspective or Criticism?

While Broos made it clear that he wasn’t criticizing Sundowns’ approach, he did emphasize the need for a more balanced and realistic player management strategy.

He admitted that it’s not easy for national team coaches when players are not playing regularly for their clubs, which could affect their development and national team readiness.

This issue has sparked debates among Sundowns supporters and beyond.

As Sundowns continues to dominate the local football scene, questions about their player rotation and the long-term effects of such a large squad remain hot topics.
