Mamelodi Sundowns are gearing up for a high-octane encounter against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday in front of a sold-out stadium in their third DStv Premiership fixture. Masandawana’s home record has been unsatisfactory this season, with a 1-0 loss in their midweek match. Co-Coach Rulani Mokwena has said that the clash with AmaKhosi would be tense for football fans.
“It’ll be extremely intriguing; I believe the fixture has always given that sort of spectacle.” I believe the numbers inside the media room show how much excitement there is from the general people and football fans, which is exactly how it should be. The main football clubs in football countries fuel the interests, emotions, and technical play.
“I know coach Arthur [Zwane] well; we’ve gone a long way from the days of Black Poison against Galatasaray, so we have a lot of respect for each other, but on match day, it’s 11 vs 11 at the end.” The condition of the surface, as well as the performances of the eleven players, ultimately determines the outcome of a football match.
Bafana Ba Style finished the 2021-22 season with a home victory against Amakhosi, and it has been over two seasons with the Tshwane Giants winning two of the four league games, while the Soweto-based squad has only won one game and tied the other. Downs will want to regain their winning ways at Loftus Stadium on Saturday afternoon, which has been dubbed “#SandawanaSupporterSaturday.”
“Generally, in the start of the season, you’re still trying to acquire match condition from both a collective and individual standpoint, but when you have a short turnaround time between matches, it’s both good and terrible.” The positive in the sense that, especially after a poor performance, you may quickly wash it away and receive a wonderful sensation.” Coach Rulani said.
“The bad news is that you don’t have a lot of time on the field to teach schemes, tactics, and reinforce particular tactical components from the game, so you have to depend on video analysis to evaluate and assess performance, which we’ve already begun doing.” That was already a big part of today’s practice, and then you concentrate on rejuvenating the guys. In general, preseason is extremely essential because it allows you to embed the foundation from a tactical standpoint and then include since you never work in isolation in contemporary football because you don’t have time.”
On Saturday, 13 August, Mamelodi Sundowns will face Kaizer Chiefs in the DStv Premiership at Loftus Versfeld Stadium. This match will be broadcast live on SuperSport TV, with kickoff at 15H00 and gates opening at 11H00.
