Mamelodi Sundowns Receive Warm Welcome After Arriving in Netherlands! The Brazilians are continuing their preparations for the new season.
Mamelodi Sundowns have arrived in Netherlands for pre-season. Head coach Rulani Mokwena has revealed that the team has received a warm welcome.
The weather in Europe is also warm, which is something not new to the South African giants. With the season kicking off in three weeks, they are increasing the intensity of their preparations.
“We came at a very strange time in Europe, because they are experiencing probably their hottest moment of the summer,” Mokwena told the club media.
“There was an incredible anticipation for a heat wave, but the heat wave of the Netherlands is a natural summer for us [In South Africa] where the conditions are warm. But it’s extremely warm sometimes and then they get extremely humid.
“There’s also a lot of vegetation, plantations of trees and that also gives a very good but relaxed energy football feeling to the preparation and the training.
“Already we’ve engaged with some people here and they are warm and very welcoming. They love football and you can see that the game of football is an incredibly loved sport in this part of the world.
“The facilities are excellent. We’ve got two very good training pitches, we’ve got access to the gym and the training sessions have been very, very good.
“We’ve been able to do some tactical work and try to prepare for the season that’s coming. We use the training sessions, and we use the games as training sessions.
“The intensity is going to be good with some very good opponents and we are looking forward to trying to finalize our preseason with very difficult games against some very good opponents.” He went on.
