Mamelodi Sundowns: Mosimane not happy with the lights going out during training

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach, Pitso Mosimane, isn’t too impressed with the lights being switched off during his side’s final training session before their CAF Champions League clash this week.

Sundowns were held to a 0-0 draw against Rayon Sports on Wednesday.

Masandawana were forced to call off training after the lights at the venue where they were training in the lead up to the match went out.

The coach stressed that he is not looking for excuses, but he wasn’t happy.

“We don’t like to make excuses, yesterday (Tuesday) we didn’t train, it is not nice, it is not good for football, he is a CAF man he can tell you, you need to give the opponent a chance to train,” Mosimane told the media after the game.

“Because when you come to my country, imagine you come to my country and I do the same, I put the lights off?

“I am not saying that you put the lights off, I hope you understand but I am saying imagine you had to train the last match and then your lights are off. What are you going to say about me?

“It is not good for football. I think that you have a lovely country and a lovely team, you need to get rid of these things, you have a very good team to win, you don’t need the lights, the mental game, all those things.

“But, we’ve been in the Champions League for a long time, we don’t worry about that,” he added.

Sundowns will host the return leg of the fixture next weekend and should still qualify for the next round of the Champions League.
