Sundowns not looking too far ahead, says Mokwena ahead of Pirates clash

Mamelodi Sundowns co-head coach Rulani Mokwena has cautioned that the champions are not looking too far ahead of themselves.Rulani Mokwena has played down Mamelodi Sundowns' early season signs of dominance and said the champions are not looking too far ahead of themselves ahead of their mouth-watering clash against Orlando Pirates in Soweto on Saturday.

They have won three times and drawn once in their opening league matches to prompt debates that Sundowns will again sweep all before them in 2021-22. “Of course the Champions League is the playground and natural habitat for Mamelodi Sundowns,” said Mokwena after the club overwhelmed TS Galaxy 3-0 at Loftus on Sunday to go top of the log.“That is the level we want to be in, but the reality is that football is such a difficult sport that if you get too far ahead of yourself you are going to have a lot of problems.

“We go step by step, match by match, competition by competition and without even thinking too much about the Champions League. Of course we have one eye on it and we know where we are going for the qualifying round, but our focus is 150% on Orlando Pirates now.
