Wypowiedzi trenera Mamelodi.
pan Gordon Igesund
“As a coach,” said Igesund, “football and life in general is about pressure and challenges. For me, I imagine for instance Benson Mhlongo marking Deco. I even think perhaps of Vuyo Mere keeping Samuel Eto’o quiet. We have won the domestic league for two successive years and now its time to move out and test new waters.
“To test new waters means not only conquering Africa. Most of our players never really had an opportunity to test their strength and skills against the best in the world. Now Patrice Motsepe has given us an opportunity to take a step up in class and see how far we can go.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for our players to see if we can match them. We will try our best and imagine the experience our players will gain out of marking players like Deco, Ronaldinho or Eto. The team is still on a break but we return on the 17 to start preparing for the match.
“I said earlier that we have conquered South Africa. Now we need to improve and show what we can accomplish against teams of Barcelona’s stature. And make no mistake, this is where we are going to be tested and if anything, the game will give us an indication of how far we have progressed.”
