Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has identified areas of the squad that could still benefit from reinforcements.

The Brazilians were unable to secure back-to-back wins in the Betway Premiership following their 1-1 draw against Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium.

The draw sees Sundowns placed fourth in the Betway Premiership table after two games, while Amakhosi remain in top spot with seven points from three matches.

The Sundowns tactician has suggested that the club could strengthen in central defence, midfield and on the right flank as the season progresses.

“Thank you very much for highlighting that point, I think it’s very important. Last year, I complained a lot about having more options for the front. This year we are better and that allows the coach to be better also, obviously some of the youngsters here and there they make mistakes,” Cardoso told SuperSport after the game.

“They want to rush a little bit the things, but maturity will come from the opportunities that we have to give. Obviously, I still think that here and there in the middle, back we need something more let’s hope, it’s something the club is working on.

“Because as you may imagine the season is very tough, I think yeah a centre-back, midfielder, maybe something there on the right let’s see what’s possible to do but good signs regarding development.”
