Mamelodi Sundowns are prepared to deal with teams trying to park the bus

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi says that his team is ready to take on sides that try to park the veritable bus.

Sundowns have been frustrated by a few unfancied sides this term, but Mngqithi insists that they are ready to break down teams who try to keep 11 behind the ball.

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach vows to destroy the low-block

In their last outing Sundowns snatched a late winner over Chippa United but had been unable to crack TS Galaxy on the opening day of the season and also wasted numerous chances to bury the game in their loss to SuperSport United earlier this month.

Mngqithi warns that Sundowns have a plan for teams who intend to play a negative game.

“It’s what we always anticipate.

“That we‘re going to have more than 80% of matches played with a very low block,” he told journalists according to Kickoff.com.

“This is what has been happening throughout the season because sometimes even some of the big teams resort to this strategy against us and we are always preparing our team for that.

“Our wish is always to break the game down very early, which is what we did against Chiefs, were very early we have already put them to the sword, now they must come out.

“It then becomes very difficult for the team that had plotted to sit back when they now have to come to you.”

“We believe that we have a team capable of breaking teams down,” he added.

Sundowns host Golden Arrows on Saturday evening at Loftus and might be faced with another attempt to shut up shop.

They will also host Amazulu a week from Sunday before the Fifa International break in late September.
