*Middendorp warns Dortmund: "Sundowns are a very serious opponent"* *Middendorp warns Dortmund: "Sundowns are a very serious opponent". As Mamelodi Sundowns prepare to face Borussia Dortmund on June 21 for their second outing in the Club World Cup, former Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has issued a clear warning to the Germans.* *According to him, taking on the South Africans will be anything but a walk in the park. Drawn in Group F alongside Dortmund, Ulsan HD (South Korea), and Fluminense (Brazil), Mamelodi Sundowns stand out as one of the tournament’s most formidable dark horses.* *Their clash with the German side is slated for Saturday, June 21. Speaking to Bild, Ernst Middendorp was full of praise for the South Africans:* *Their track record speaks for itself: consistency, ambition, professionalism. They play technical football, tactically astute and relentlessly attacking.* *The German tactician emphasized the rising stature of the South African champions: Mamelodi Sundowns are a benchmark—not just in their country, but across the entire African continent.* *Another strength of the club, in his view, is their youth development policy: It’s remarkable. About 85% of their professional squad is made up of South African players. It’s a model to follow.* *While Dortmund remain group favorites, Niko Kovač’s men have been warned: Sundowns haven’t traveled just to make up the numbers. The showdown on June 21 promises to be electric. But first, Mamelodi Sundowns kick off their campaign this Tuesday, June 17, against South Korea’s Ulsan HD.* *Do you enjoy laughing?* Join the Most Busiest Football Group Chat in South Africa, here we Mock, Banter, and Laugh at your teams when they lose.
