Sundowns Must be Ready to Unfavorable Conditions in Ethiopia - Dennis OnyangoJuly 1, 2017 - Dennis Onyango‚ who played one season for the Ethiopian giants St George, advised that the Mamelodi Sundowns will have to adjust according to the unfavourable pitch conditions at the Addis Ababa Stadium in Ethiopia when they take on Saint George SC in their Caf Champions League group stage clash on Saturday. “They are a team who like to play football when they are good going forward‚” Onyango‚ Caf’s local-based African Footballer of the year for 2016‚ said. “And we must try as much as possible to minimise mistakes at the back because the pitch is not that good‚ which is going to be an advantage for them. “We have been playing in the Champions League for a long time and we know that we must adjust as quickly as possible to conditions that we are not used to. “Altitude will also be a factor because you know Ethiopian runners have dominated long distance running for many years‚ as it helps them with endurance‚” he said.
