“We have a 24-hour rule so we will enjoy the game, the feeling and then get rest.” Rhulani Mokwena told the Mamelodi Sundowns website.
“Tomorrow we come in to clean the game from the system and we prepare for a very difficult match against AmaZulu.
“The work will begin immediately as we get closer to it because a lot of work was done for this game. A lot of work is now going to be put into AmaZulu.
“A very very difficult match and opponent. It will be difficult in KZN for sure [therefore] we have to work very hard with the preparations for that match.
“A couple of weeks ago Mamelodi Sundowns lost to [Stellenbosch] Stellies and we were the worst team, I was the worst Coach.
This is football, you have to take the good moments just like you take the bad moments, not too high in the good moments, not too low on the bad moments.”
