Pitso questions PSL sides holding training camps in Europe

According to IOL, Mosimane shared his thoughts on PSL top teams having their pre-season camp in Europe in a recent interview.

"It's a good confidence-booster for the teams to play against those top teams," he said.

"I used to do it differently because I had tunnel notion; the (CAF) Champions League. So, if I am aiming for the Champions League, I need to prepare for where the actual thing is."

The former Al Ahly coach suggested that Sundowns and Pirates, teams representing PSL in the CAF Champions League, will be well-prepared for the competition if they have their pre-season in Africa.

"Now, where they (Sundowns and Pirates, who will represent the PSL in the continent's club competition) are preparing, as much as it is good because of those points that I raised when the Champions League starts, they will be faced with a completely different environment and conditions," he added.
