Home success in this year’s African Champions League has never been more vital for South Africa’s two representatives than this weekend when both Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates play in crucial games in South Africa.
Does he hope to ensure Champions League progress on Saturday and then take a reserve squad on the long trip to Morocco next week‚ thereby saving his best players for the trip to Maritzburg‚ where Downs need a full haul of points in increasingly tight Absa Premiership title trace?
Or does he continue his current policy of playing the bulk of his players game after game – Saturday will be a fourth match in 10 days for Sundowns – and just hope they keep fatigue at bay? Mosimane insists there is still much in the tank but his side looked tired on Tuesday night when they were beaten 2-1 away at Cape Town City in a setback to their aspirations of retaining their domestic title.“The Nigerians will sit in and park the bus and we have to go and guard against counterattacking. But once we get one goal‚ we can go.Saturday’s game is in Atteridgeville‚ despite Sundowns moving all recent games to Loftus Versfeld‚ Mosimane’s home venue of choice.
