Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rulani Mokwena says the record-setting club has no God-given right to win every title but their lofty ambitions and high standards are what sets them apart from the rest.
“I don’t know what the other teams are doing and it’s a good thing that I don’t really have to get into their space, with all due respect, but Sundowns is a club that has a vision that surpasses all the levels,” Mokwena said.
“It’s a difficult competition to win, but the feeling among the Sundowns family was that we could do better and we should have done better and that’s the reflection of the ambitions that the club has,” he said. “Those are the lessons and we take those with a lot of humility because we know we should have been in the semifinals. We know that the type of season we had in the Champions League should have allowed us to fulfil the ambitions of the club.While many coaches might envy Mokwena and his colleagues Manqoba Mngqithi and Steve Komphela, the young mentor has said the demands at Sundowns are extremely severe.
“The club expects that type of investment, not from a monetary perspective but from a work ethic perspective, commitment perspective and from a human resource perspective. That’s where the club is. If you were to ask me, without including the other teams, I would say that's where the difference is.”
