Cardoso asks for respect amid mounting pressure

Under fire Miguel Cardoso demands respect
"You expect that Sundowns will win championships with 20 points advantage every year - it will not happen. What's missing is that probably people need to trust, and I'm always saying that our opponents became stronger it's clear. There's nothing missing, what's missing is trust.
"If people trust the things will happens normally because there's a lot of quality in the squad, there's a lot of quality in the coaching staff, there's a lot of quality in the coach because I don't see around any coach with a curriculum that I have.
"But we will not win everyday, but believe, what is important in this club is not if we fall, it's the attitude we show to rise and that speaks for us and those are the values we have in this club. So, we are together, we are united, we are strong and we will move forward in the right way.
"Of course when people make jokes with the colour of the car of the coach and there's no respect on the integrity of a human being like me - there's a lot of wrong things in this country. It's important to settle those things because a few years ago you had someone very important in this country that brought some idea about how to relate and I found a country.
