Feutmba’s Message to Sundowns!

Ex-Mamelodi Sundowns midfield general Roger Feutmba says the team’s exit from the CAF Champions League is not the end of the world.

The Cameroonian, who played for Sundowns from 1996 to 1999, admitted to Soccer Laduma that he was greatly disappointed to see the Brazilians knocked out of the Champions League by Angolan side, Wiliete.

However, Feutmba reckons there’s still a lot to play for this season.

“We need to understand that no matter how excellent we believe we are, we can still make mistakes,” said Feutmba to the Siya crew.

“No matter how great or good you are, you can make mistakes… what happened is a very difficult thing for the club, because we are the mirror of South African football. If you talk African football, you mention Sundowns. It’s not good for our football that we are not in the Champions League, but we still have the league and cups to play for,” he continued.

“My message to the team is simple; there’s still a lot to play for. And I believe that we learn moving forward. I also believe we’ve learned again that nothing is guaranteed, no matter how great we are. We’ve won a couple of games since then, so that brings back the confidence to the players moving forward. I always say football doesn’t accommodate negative feelings. So you need to connect fast in a positive way to make sure that you are ready for the next challenge,” added Feutmba.

The next challenge for Sundowns is a clash against Golden Arrows on Tuesday evening in the quarterfinals of the Carling Knockout.

The match will be played at Loftus Stadium, with kickoff set for 19H00.
