Playing for Mamelodi Sundowns comes with huge pressure as one of the side's youngsters admits to the challenges that comes with being part of a Big Three team.
The South African under-23 international, Grant Margeman, is yet to make an impact at Masandawana after joining with a huge reputation coming from Ajax Cape town, currently Cape Town Spurs.
Speaking at their current SA under-23 camp in Durban, the midfielder admits to having a slow start in his career with defending league champions and describing his debut against Golden Arrows as bad day in the office.
"I think it been a slow start of my career at Sundowns personally, obviously I want to play more games but for me its all about adjusting to new a enviroment and to keep working hard and hopefully, when I get another chance will capitalise on it.
"Obviously that debut was disappointing you know, as a footballer you want to play most of the games and 90 minutes you know. So for me it's all about working hard and going back to coaches, check where I can improve as I said I'm still adjusting to a new life."
With struggling due to the lack of game-time, Margaman, who has made only two appearances for his club, has admitted to having thoughts of requesting a loan move to avoid losing his spot in the national team.
The midfielder hopes that the Durban camp can help to build his confidence to return and fight for a place in Sundowns' star-studded side.
"Yeah obviously you know that came in mind but I'm a Mamelodi Sundowns player, I need to fight, work hard to get into the matchday squad and to get to level where it can not also affect my chances in the national team, as the coach wants players who are regulars," he added.
"I'm thankful that I'm in this camp and hoping that will help me to gain confidence to take to Sundowns," he added.
