After a sparkling performance for Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup this weekend, Brazilians mentor Miguel Cardoso hopes that Jayden Adams won’t become complacent in the near future.

The Bafana Bafana international scored the only goal in Sundowns 1-0 win against Sekhukhune United in the quarter-finals of the Nedbank Cup on Friday, a performance that caught the eye of Cardoso.

However, the Downs coach urged Adams to increase his playing level given the quality of depth at Chloorkop.

“It is the speed of his game that creates problems for the opponents, and Jayden is a player who can increase a lot of speed in the game,” Cardoso said after the match, as per the Sowetan.

“Most of you heard me speaking about Jayden Adams when he arrived at Sundowns. I told him that I think he has to raise his intensity level to play for the club.

“It’s clear that he has been doing pretty well [and] has improved himself, naturally. However, we have more players [who can] substitute him. So, he mustn’t feel comfortable, because there are other players who are also pushing strongly.”
