Speaking to Soccer Laduma in the latest edition, issue 961, the former CAF Champions League finalist highlighted on certain aspects the players should be up for when playing in Africa.
"They must just prepare themselves mentally and physically, because the conditions are not always good out there," the former Bafana Bafana international said.
The PSL log-leaders face Chicken Inn in the second-leg of their CAF Champions League tie, with the Zimbabwean outfit leading 1-0 from the first leg.
"It requires you to be mentally and physically strong because, when you are out of your comfort zone, you must expect the worst. But I believe in them," Tlale said.
Tlale further added that Pitso Mosimane's troops have proved to be the best in a long while.
"This is the best Sundowns I've seen in a long time. They just need to be together, help each other and I think they'll manage to reach the final," the 48-year-old concluded.
