Mamelodi Sundowns have received a boost ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal clash against Atlético Petróleos de Luanda on Saturday afternoon (6pm) with the availability of utility player Thapelo Morena.

“They have good counter attacks and they are second in terms of the number of shots they get from regains. They can also threaten you from set pieces, so we have to flexible and be a team that is like a chameleon.

“A chameleon doesn’t change the fact that it’s a reptile but it adapts to its conditions and we will have to have that personality. You watched Man City against Atlético Madrid the other day, Man City are a team that wants to be dominant on the ball. “They go away to Atlético knowing that they are chasing the result and play in a way that they are dominant and in their face by adapting to the situation and absorbing pressure.

“We are going to try and be chameleons and try to adapt but also make sure that we move into the second leg with control of our own destiny. We have to play the 90 minutes in a way that says to us that we decide how we are going to play in the second leg.”“We are playing one of the best-placed runners-up during the group stages of the Champions League. They qualified from a very tough group and it is third time lucky for them to reach the quarterfinal stage.

“They are a team that is currently sitting top of their domestic league, they are a very well coached side and they are a side that has huge Portuguese influence with creative thinking coaches.”
