Artificial Pitch Not A Concern For Pitso Mosimane

Artificial Pitch Not A Concern For Pitso Mosimane

Mamelodi Sundowns' head coach, Pitso Mosimane has said that Kampala Capital City's pitch conditions will not be a concern for his side when they face the Ugandans in their CAF Champions League second leg clash.

The Brazilians arrived in Uganda on Wednesday, March, 15, where Mosimane addressed the media ahead of their second leg clash on Saturday, March 18.

Kampala will welcome Masandawana to the Lugogo Stadium in Kampala, which is laid with artificial pitch - conditions that Sundowns are not used to.

However, in similar circumstances in last year's CAF Champions League campaign, the Brazilians moved their training session to the Nike Centre in Soweto in order to prepare to play on artificial pitches when they faced AS Vita.

Speaking on Sundowns' official website, the head coach made it clear that the artificial pitches will not be a concern for his side, who will go in to the clash all guns blazing.

"We played AS Vita and ES Setif on artificial pitches (in last year's CAF campaign) so why would we be concerned about the pitch now. We don't like it, but at least the ball rolls, and that is the positive we take on the pitch," Mosimane said.

The champions of Africa will be in action on Saturday, March 18, where they will look to capitalize on their 2-1 first leg lead over the Ugandans.
