Mamelodi Sundowns player sets team target and discusses tournament preparations

Mamelodi Sundowns are gearing up for their opening FIFA Club World Cup clash against Ulsan Hyundai. One of the African side’s players has shared insights into the team’s preparations for the prestigious tournament.

Details: According to Jayden Adams, the squad isn’t dwelling on their CAF Champions League final defeat and is fully focused on the first match of the new competition. He also emphasized that the primary objective is to qualify for the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.

Quote: "The top priority is to get through the group stage. That’s what we’re working towards. I think the team is ready. We love controlling possession, but even without the ball—whether it’s counter-pressing, high pressing, or defending in a deep block—we remain united. I expect a tough game, but I believe we have what it takes to advance," Adams stated.

He also added that preparations for both the match and the tournament have gone well, and the team is completely focused.
