Miguel Cardoso blames PSL leaders for injured Mamelodi Sundowns players despite winning the Caf Champions League

Miguel Cardoso has lamented the PSL schedule on Mamelodi Sundowns as he highlights some players may miss the World Cup due to fatigue.

Cardoso is in cloud nine after guiding Sundowns to their second Caf Champions League triumph in Morocco last night following a 2-1 aggregate win against ASFAR.

“I also believe that it is important – if South Africa wants again soon or in the future win the Champions League, it has to change some dynamics,” said Cardoso in his post-match press conference in Rabat.

“And it’s really important to change some dynamics, it’s really important those dynamics are changing, to provide support.

“Today, there are still some players that are potential Bafana Bafana players who could not play – Thapelo Morena, Aubrey Modiba, Bathusi Aubaas.

“And they are not here, because in the last moment they were exposed to something that is not normal. And they also could not play a final, they could’ve been useful today, very useful.

“So it’s time for people that are in charge of football in South Africa to really think what they want about the development of football in the country and if they create conditions to really push the teams forward.

“To create conditions to help this club, I believe it’s possible because I know the club will continue to work very hard to develop because I know the people behind the scenes.”
