Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi took a swipe at Kaizer Chiefs for hosting Al Ahly in their facilities ahead of Downs’ 1-0 Group A Caf Champions League win at the FNB Stadium on Saturday to qualify for the quarterfinals.
The usually reserved Mngqithi said Saturday’s victory was made sweeter because their opponents were not only able to use Chiefs’ facilities at Naturena to prepare, but in the match were even given a better change room at FNB that is normally reserved for Chiefs.
“And for me, winning this match was sweeter because I felt Chiefs was being spiteful by allowing that because you could have easily taken Al Ahly to that change room that’s got a ramp on the other side — that long distance. “Wydad Casablanca [of Morocco] wanted to train at our facility when they were coming to play Chiefs last season. But we didn’t allow Wydad to train at our facility because that would have meant that we’re forming an alliance with people from outside.”
“It’s very important that inasmuch as we say we mustn’t create opponents or enemies, we must have a bit more respect of the fact that we’re representing the country.
