Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena says they have done a lot of research on Wydad Casablanca's new boss Sven Vandenbroeck ahead of their crucial meeting at the weekend.
Sundowns are in Morocco to face Caf Champions League title holders Wydad in the tournament’s semifinal first leg at Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca on Saturday . Wydad have gone through some changes, appointing Belgian coach Vandenbroeck on Friday as their new mentor before their 3-1 Botola Pro victory over Chabab Mohammédia on Saturday.Despite the changes, Mokwena says they still have a good idea of what they will be up against playing tough Wydad.
“There’s small adaptation with the model of play because of the new coach from a defensive perspective,” he said. “On the pressing, they look a little bit higher and there’s a bit more emphasis on build-up which looks more with [Houcine] Benayada’s influence. But we have to just continue doing the work and profile.”To get a clear idea about the new man in charge, Mokwena said they analysed videos of his work in Saudi Arabia and Tanzania, where he coached Simba SC, and other teams he has coached.
