Cardoso explains how weather delay helped Sundowns

Meanwhile, in a previous interview, Cardoso stated that there were both positive and negative aspects to the weather delay. The Portuguese manager confirmed that the delay helped the Pretoria giants prepare better tactically after Ulsan made a surprising change in their tactical approach with their line-up.

The former Nantes gaffer, who has rated leading Sundowns at the Club World Cup as one of the high points of his career, mentioned that stopping the warm-up affected their rhythm, which was the only negative side of the delay for his team.

“The delay of the game had good things and bad things,” said Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso.

Cardoso confirms the exit of Sundowns star

Briefly News previously reported that ahead of the clash against Ulsan HD, Cardoso confirmed that a Mamelodi Sundowns star would be leaving the club this summer.

The former Esperance of Tunisia coach admitted that the club management opted against taking the option in the player's contract.
