“As a player, it’s not something nice because you always want to play against the best team in the league, but that’s how it is in football. I am still part of the Mamelodi Sundowns set-up, so the agreement is there and I had to accept it,” Margeman told Soccer Laduma.

“But I think the boys know what to expect after the cup game. It’s going to demand a lot of hard work and mental strength. I think the team will be better prepared going into this game, to know what they will throw at us and how we can hurt them.”
