Miguel Cardoso believes that Saturday rather than Sunday should have been the date of the Orlando Pirates vs. Mamelodi Sundowns match.
Players won’t get enough sleep, according to Sundowns coach Cardoso, when the most recent Bafana Bafana camp begins on Sunday. According to Cardoso, via FARPost, “it’s not good that this match was put on Sunday because the players will go to the national team immediately after the match.” “The game should have taken place on Saturday so that the players can be respected for their need to rest and perform well for the national team, as they won’t even have a day to rest.
As human beings with families, social lives, and bodies that should be respected, football players are not machines. And occasionally, even when players are incapable of giving their best effort, we expect them to produce when they are near death,” Cardoso said.
On Sunday, the Orlando Pirates will play the formidable Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium in Soweto. Tshegofatso Mabasa says it won’t be a make-or-break game, even though Mamelodi Sundowns has an 18-point lead.
Sundowns will have just eight games remaining in the season as of kickoff on Sunday at 15:30, while the Sea Robbers have twelve games remaining. According to Sowetan, Mabasa stated, “I don’t think this game against Sundowns depends on our title chances.” “Anything is possible in football, and we still have a lot of games to play and points to fight for.” However, we are aware that we must engage in combat on Sunday. “Hopefully, we get all three points, which would take us in the right direction if we want to win this league,” the Orlando Pirates forward went on.
It’s a major brand, therefore we need to keep performing if we want this club to succeed. Despite the intense external pressure, we think that working together, we can do a lot more this season.
“To be honest, winning the league would mean a lot. With this amazing club, we have already made history, and it will live on in the annals of time. As the present players, we must leave a legacy and our mark,” the striker said in closing.
