Mamelodi Sundowns legend Surprise Moriri on Sundowns chances in the Caf Champions League final: It is going to be a very sweet victory for us
Surprise Moriri sees Mamelodi Sundowns winning this season’s Caf Champions League title.
Moriri, a Sundowns legend, said the difficulty Miguel Cardoso’ troops faced in the group stages was a good preparation for the final against Moroccan side ASFAR next week.
The first leg is on the weekend of the 15th of May with Sundowns hosting their North African counterparts while the return leg will be a week later in Morocco.
“I think it’s going to be very sweet, I think also if you look at the way, in terms of the group stages, how we qualified for the knockout stages, it was not easy – but after that, the boys fought very hard to make sure we get to where we are now to the final,” Moriri said.
“I know that everyone is looking forward to the final, we have been chasing this thing for too long, I think we are very, very close to this and it will be very sweet to put the second star on the jersey.
“But I know it won’t be easy, as they say, success is sweeter when achieved under tough times, unlike when it comes on a silver platter. The boys have fought hard, paid their dues, paid their school fees. Where we are now it’s up to us what we do – but I have trust and belief in the boys and the technical team.
“But most importantly also, our supporters, they must make sure to rally behind the team so we can go for the last lap – but I have trust and belief that this time around, we will put the second star on our jersey.”
