It was at times a mildly testy reintroduction of Miguel Cardoso to the Tunisian media in his prematch press conference ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns second leg of their Caf Champions League against Esperance de Tunis in Rads, outside Tunis on Tuesday.
Cardoso kept his cool in Mondays briefing as he was asked about the violence after the final whistle in Downs 1-0 first leg win at Loftus Versfeld last week Tuesday and his relationship with Esperance, who he was fired by last year, months before joining the Brazilians in December.
Sundowns will expect a hostile reception, but hope tempers do not boil over at the 65,000-seat Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi 9pm SA time.
Incidents of violence plagued the first leg at Loftus, where reports in the South African media and the view of the Pretoria club, seemingly backed up by videos shared on social media, alleged the unruliness was started by the Esperance supporters.
