Dortmund coach wary of Brazilians
Weekend Argus on Saturday
|June 21, 2025
THE vibrant colours of Mamelodi Sundowns' kit evoke strong connections to South America's most celebrated footballing nation Brazil, a five-time Fifa World Cup winner.
Now, as the South Africans stride onto the global stage at the Club World Cup, this correlation is stronger than ever. Nicknamed the Brazilians, Sundowns are captivated by the shared ethos of flair and passion, and Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovac drew parallels between their style of play and that of the Brazilian national team.
Kovac came to that conclusion while doing his homework on Sundowns ahead of today's Group F clash.
He said: “They are more to the side of the Brazilian team”, underscoring the challenge that awaits Dortmund and the intrigue surrounding Sundowns in this tournament.
