Cardoso On Adams’ Arrival

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso says anyone joining the club including Jayden Adams won’t be gifted a place in the team as there are expectations that everyone earns theirs.

Sundowns announced Adams’ arrival on Saturday on a three-and-a-half-year deal with an option to renew, in a long-awaited move since last season.

The Portuguese mentor spoke about the side’s targets in the transfer market saying the club is doing a great job in identifying talent to boost what’s already there. However, reminded the players that they need to know that they are going to have to prove themselves.

Cardoso says there is enough competition for the players to prove themselves and show that they are better and that competition that should benefit the team in the long run.

“Regarding the market, let me be straight and clear, obviously it’s normal the club will be open to see if there are opportunities in the market that can make us stronger,” said Cardoso.

“But we believe in our players and any player that enters this group has to prove himself. It’s for Jayden and anyone else. We will not give gifts to no one. They will have to arrive, show if they are better than our players and then we will see. That comes from daily basis work.

“So, Jayden and anyone that will join the group will have to prove himself in front of the other ones, in front of myself and my staff and in front of the club.

“Obviously when you take a player, I had chance to tell him yesterday that we expect that they dream high and they put their dreams, their objectives on the table and we work hard for them.

“If that happens everybody will help us for sure because we are open to analyse but we also discuss and analyse the performances done on a daily basis and the players that perform better are the ones that go on the pitch.

“Anyway, we have a lot of competitions, we have expectations on the players that join the club and it’s also from us to give them what they still need for adaptation of the group, take the best from them and then they can truly of course prove what they can add from the group.”
