New Mamelodi Sundowns Players Registered to Compete in CAF Champions League! The Brazilians have made three signings in the January transfer window.

Mamelodi Sundowns signed Surprise Ralani, Teboho Mokoena and Saavedra in the transfer window. Co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has confirmed that they have all been registered to participate in the CAF Champions League.

Masandawana begin their quest to become African champions this evening against Al Hilal. They will have all their fit players available to compete in the competition.

“For this period there are only a few players that we’ve registered. Surprise Ralani, Teboho Mokoena, Saavedra, the rest of the squad was registered earlier.” Coach Manqoba addressed to the media.

In Al Hilal, the Brazilians are not facing unknown opponents. They were grouped with the Sudanese side in the CAF Champions League group stages last season as well.

“We’ve done a very intense study on Al-Hilal. We’ve watched a lot of their matches.

“Even going back to the match that we played against them in Sudan and here in South Africa. Their team has not changed that much.

“We know we are playing against a team that is very robust, a team that is aerially very strong [as] both the centre backs are very tall. The central midfielders are tall, their striker is tall, they’ve got a very tall team.

“Generally, against Al-Hilal we know the game is most likely to be on two fronts, either on set-pieces, and also on their counter attacking game. That is why one anticipates, based on what we know, we anticipate that at home they might sit back a little bit and maybe present 4-5-1 or a 4-1-4-1 scenario to try and make sure that they are compact, and they are hoping to catch us with breaks.

“But set-pieces are always the order of day against a team like Al-Hilal.” He spoke.

The Brazilians will want to start their campaign with three points. New Mamelodi Sundowns Players Registered to Compete in CAF Champions League!
