"We want to play our own football": Williams outlines Mamelodi Sundowns' goal for the Club World Cup Getty Images

On June 18, Mamelodi Sundowns will kick off their Club World Cup campaign with a match against Japan's Ulsan. As the sole representative from South Africa at the tournament, the team has set ambitious goals for themselves.

Details: Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams is not looking to adapt to their opponents—instead, he wants the team to stay true to themselves, believing they have enough strength to make it through the group stage.

Quote: "We must stay true to ourselves and stick to our identity. We don't want to go there, change things, and start playing differently just because of the strength of the opposition. We want to play our own football and believe we have enough power to get out of the group. And I think making it out of the group would be a huge and positive achievement for us.

We believe we can progress beyond the group and show the world who Mamelodi Sundowns are. At Mamelodi Sundowns, there's always another opportunity, and it doesn't get bigger than this. This is a huge and probably the most prestigious club competition, so we're excited and looking forward to it," Williams told KickOff.
