Following their impressive victory over lowly La Passe last weekend, Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena says the Brazilians are looking to challenge for this season’s CAF Champions League title.
Sundowns handed La Passe a 7-0 drubbing in the first leg at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Sunday.
The Brazilians racked up five goals in the first half and added two more in the second half to sink the four-time Seychelles league champions.
“We can’t complain about which opposition and how many rounds [we play], but at the end of the day what’s important it’s about how we apply and prepare ourselves.”
“Clearly and obviously with the ambition that we have and the desire to go very, very far and in fact [to] challenge for the Champions League this season, we are gonna meet even [more] stern and difficult oppositions than this [and that’s when] the habits must kick in. Habits come from games, training sessions and we always try our best to be at this optimum level where we can always look to give our best on the pitch,” he added.
Sundowns are set to meet La Passe again in the second leg on Friday.
