Confident Maboe up for the Egyptian challenge IOLSport
JOHANNESBURG – Lebohang Maboe cut a confident figure at Mamelodi Sundowns’ base in Chloorkop yesterday, ahead of the biggest game of his career when the Brazilians clash with Al-Ahly at the Lucas Moripe Stadium tomorrow.
The Brazilians conquered the continent in 2016 while Al-Ahly have remained at the summit of African football. The changes that Sundowns have undergone under coach Pitso Mosimane has those who are associated with the club believing that in a positive result at home against the eight-time African champions.
“The club has done well in bringing a lot of talented footballers here. We have a very good bunch of players - we strongly believe in our abilities, and if we play our normal game, I don’t believe that there is any team that can stop us. Everywhere we go in the continent we find a Sundowns’ T-shirt which shows the type of team Sundowns is and how it has grown in the last couple of years.”
“I have been doing pretty well, but it’s not up to me to judge that ,” Maboe said. “All I can say is that I have been doing well with the team, yeah . I still have a lot to do - I have more to offer. I need to be more clinical in front of the goal, take the right decisions at the right time.The Egyptians will offer Maboe a sterner test than any opponent he has come up against thus far.
