Cardoso Tries To Be As Clever As He Can Be At Sundowns

Miguel Cardoso tries to be as clever as possible. And thats why he tries to be as equally open-minded when hes planning for the game both ahead and during the match.

Cardoso has masterminded Mamelodi Sundowns to an impressive 18-point lead at the top of the Betway Premiership log after 20 games. And while Orlando Pirates could trim that gap to six points if they win their four games in hand, it seems all but inevitable that Sundowns will rule the land yet again.

Cardoso might have not started the season with the Brazilians, but the fact hell oversee most of the club's games means that he will be see as the brains behind their now probable eighth title in succession.

The 52-year-old has already made his naysayers eat humble pie with his impressive stint at the club so far, having been initially criticised for an underwhelming CV. Cardoso's impressive stint includes beating both Soweto giants Orlando Pirates 4-1 and Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 in the league in a space of a month.

His approach in both games were different. He had his best players against Pirates, and his team dominated the game from start to finish. But thanks to a string of forseen and unforseen circumstances, such as fatigue and injuries, Cardoso had a largely makeshift defence against Chiefs. He was, therefore, cautious in his approach, but still won the game.
