“I’m not worried. We are number 1 in our Champions League group, and everyone is talking and making ‘hoo-ha’. We are number 1 in the league, even with the difficult schedule we have.” – Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rhulani Mokwena told SuperSport.

“So really, when I look at what we’ve done in the first round of the season, you’ve got to appreciate what this group of players has done. In every single match they give incredible effort. And you are not entitled to win. The result in football belongs to anyone.

“You have to keep going and focus on the process. The process is, what’s the idea, how do you want to play, is that consistent in every game? And I think when you watch Mamelodi Sundowns you can see consistency in the ideas we want to implement on the pitch.”
