Despite the fact that his team got a big victory last Wednesday with a score of 4-2 over Sekhukhune United, and even with this victory, the Portuguese coach criticized the busy schedule that his team has been going through since the beginning of the season, and despite the fact that the team has played four more games than Orlando Pirates, but it leads the league comfortably.

This was the eighth game the team played in February and now they have a few hours to rest before facing the Kaizer Chiefs next Saturday.

Those February fixtures were made up of seven league matches and one Nedbank Cup game. In April, Sundowns will also be back in action in the CAF Champions League in a two-leg quarter-final against ES Tunis over the space of a week.

It's absolutely insane what's happening to Sundowns, the schedule is insane, it's not normal, it doesn't respect a human being and I think it should be thought of and well considered because I don't know how it's possible, But we keep alive, we struggle and will continue pushing forward for sure, A very difficult match, very difficult context. It was good in the right moments we scored, they gave us obviously an emotional advantage. But I also think we started the game very well.

Cardoso said.

We controlled the match and that allowed us to gain a good advantage. Anyway, it was difficult to react to the style of game that Sekhukhune played. They just played long balls, long balls, aggressive, So you are always trying to play football and build from the back. Quite difficult context. Anyway, respect for my players as they did their best and obviously they deserved to win.
