💨 Abstract

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso defended his playing style after replacing former coach Manqoba Mngqithi. Despite winning the Betway Premiership and reaching the CAF Champions League final, critics argue his football is too pragmatic. Cardoso, who had a renowned reputation in Portugal for his romantic and patient approach, insisted that there is no conflict between his coaching style and Sundowns' traditional "shoeshine and piano" style of football.
