KEANU CUPIDO ON HIS MOVE TO MAMELODI SUNDOWNS

“I feel like this is a full circle for me… I came here as a kid and left, and now I’m back,” Cupido told Sundowns’ media department. “This feels like the proudest moment for me as a footballer because I know the standards of Mamelodi Sundowns and I feel like I need to keep the standards as well,” added the 27-year-old Cupido.

A section of Mamelodi Sundowns supporters will have strong opinions on Hugo Broos’ comments here.

As reported last week, Kabo Yellow won the race to sign the 23-year-old midfielder from Stellenbosch FC. Meanwhile, Bafana Bafana coach Broos has some questions. “I have to think about how I’m going to say this because it’s dangerous,” the Belgian said, as per iDiski Times.

“But I understand that Sundowns want the best players and I also understand that they buy them because they have money. They have plenty of money, but at the end what are you going to do with all those players?

“I see Adams now, okay, we will see. In Stellenbosch, he played every game, and I know Sundowns are playing many games, the Champions League and Nedbank and the league competition. And you need more than 20 players but if I’m right they have 38 players or something…

“I’m not criticising Sundowns, I’m just looking in a realistic way, what are they going to do with all those players? And they are internationals, it’s not like the one with for example [Tashreeq] Matthews, he doesn’t play every game but he’s not with the national team.

“But at Sundowns there are national team players who don’t play and for me it’s a little bit not a happy feeling because you have to at a certain moment replace the player because they are not playing, not because they are not good enough.

“Okay, that’s the policy of Sundowns, it’s not up to me to criticise that I have to respect that but sometimes it’s not easy,” concluded Broos.
