A former PSL coach names Fluminense player who Mamelodi Sundowns needs to target
Mamelodi Sundowns have one last chance to keep their hopes of qualifying for the FIFA Club World Cup play-off alive — a crucial match against Fluminense. Former PSL coach Dylan Kerr believes he knows what the Brazilians need to do to win.
Details: The former Marumo Gallants and Moroka Swallows coach has pointed to Thiago Silva as the main player Mamelodi Sundowns should target. Despite Silva’s impressive experience with PSG and Chelsea, Kerr believes the veteran defender is too old and too slow, which could be exploited by quicker attackers.
Quote: "I watched Fluminense against Ulsan. Sundowns can beat them, especially if you target Thiago (Silva) - he can't run. If they get someone quick to get behind Thiago, they'll definitely win. He's too slow. They attack down the flanks, they go to the right and left channels. They've got two very good wingers. But typical Brazilians, they like to keep possession.
Ulsan defended (most of the game) and went on a counter. I think Sundowns are better than that. Sundowns have to play the players that are quick. Sundowns players have a big opportunity to sell themselves. If they can win on Wednesday, they stay in the competition. He (Cardoso) has to refresh the squad against Fluminense, he needs quick players," Kerr told KickOff.com.
