Al-Hilal Overview

Cardoso on Sundowns leadership: 'Football is emotional'

The Brazilians tactician has pulled back the curtain on the internal dynamics at Chloorkop, highlighting the vital role of the club's leadership in their continental success. Following a season that saw Masandawana reclaim their throne as the kings of Africa, the Portuguese coach emphasised that the psychological environment fostered by the hierarchy was just as crucial as the work done on the training pitch.

The continental draw at the SuperSport studios on Monday threw up a tough group for The Brazilians. Not only do they face a former coach wise in their ways, but they face opposition who have already proved they can beat South African sides. They also have Sundanese club Al-Hilal, who were quarterfinalists last season.
