Sundowns coach Mokwena: Chiefs have shown 'a big improvement' marc_strydom
Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena has noted the improvement in Sunday's opponents Kaizer Chiefs.It goes without saying that a team such as Mamelodi Sundowns that dissects opposition with a biologist’s precision will have noticed Kaizer Chiefs' gradual stages of improvement at the start of the 2021-22 season.
Coaches know what they say in a pre-match press conference can potentially psychologically affect their opposition's intensity and approach to a game. Mokwena suggested that, having taken penalties to eliminate an Amakhosi decidedly still finding their balance in their season-opening MTN8 quarterfinal, but who still managed to fight back from 2-0 down at the break to 2-2, the Brazilians might be in for even more of a fight on Sunday.
“But we've also watched Chiefs extensively and there's a lot of work that has been done and there are big improvements in relation to how they play. “And clearly we are up against a good team that is well-coached, and our expectation is that of a good match.” Baxter was quick to stress that his team remain more of a work in progress than trophy juggernaut Downs.
