The Brazilians have just dropped their full squad list, gearing up to take on the world's best over in the United States.
Mamelodi Sundowns are getting ready for their highly awaited Fifa Club World Cup Group F opener against Ulsan, which is happening on Wednesday, June 18. You can feel the buzz in the air! Everyone’s keen to see how these South African champions stack up against some of the top clubs globally.
Head coach Miguel Cardoso has put together a strong squad, filled with talent and experience — and he’s done it with a lot of care. The club took to social media to share the full list of players, and you should’ve seen the excitement it sparked among their passionate fans! They’re really hoping to see Masandawana shine on the world stage.
On a different note, former Argentina U20 star Lucas Suarez will not be part of Sundowns’ squad for the Club World Cup. He came on loan from CA Talleres, and it seemed like a great move at first. But things didn’t quite pan out as expected. His playing time started to shrink in April and May, and now, with the team deciding not to register him for the tournament, he won’t be able to play at this global event.
So, with Miguel Cardoso's squad all set and ready, Masandawana will kick off their Club World Cup journey against Ulsan on June 18. After that, they’ll take on Borussia Dortmund, the German giants, on June 21, and finish up their Group F matches against Brazilian team Fluminense on June 25.
Now, switching gears to Martinez — when he’s in form, it’s hard to find strikers in Europe who can match him. Seriously, his recent performance had people talking Ballon d’Or, no doubt about it.
There’s been a bit of chatter around Inter, suggesting that Martinez got overlooked last time. He wrapped up the last voting in a solid seventh place, which isn’t bad, right? But for a player who led Inter to a Serie A title and was the league’s top scorer, it feels a bit low.
Maybe the main reason Martinez hasn’t snagged the biggest European awards is that he hasn’t really translated his domestic success to the Champions League. You know, that’s the grand stage for footballers in Europe.
But hey, if he keeps up performances like he did on Tuesday, that could change everything.
