“You see‚ when it is a normal environment‚ I always say we [Sundowns] can make it [win the league]. Even when we were 11 points behind Kaizer Chiefs in the first year we won the league‚ I still said we would make it and this was based on normal circumstances‚” Mosimane said. “This Covid-19 ... I don’t understand it and I don’t think there’s anybody who knows it. Look at the symptoms‚ they appear to be going in this direction and then suddenly they change. We are all learning this thing and there is no experts.”

“I don’t know how we will be when we come back because I am looking at Barcelona‚ for example‚ and before Covid-19 they were top of the log in Spain [two points clear of Real Madrid] and doing very well‚” he said. “After resuming play in Spain‚ look at them now.”“It has boiled down to the substitutions‚ the changing of the team‚ putting these players in‚ players are not ready‚ injuries‚ the inability to play the same players for successive games‚ five subs.
