Cardoso highlighted the difficulties of facing two strong opponents in the group stages, but he is confident that his team can surprise some viewers.
"We have a good understanding of how we want to play our football," he said. "We will fight for the chances we deserve to create."
With the tournament being such a prestigious and elite event, Cardoso recognizes the potential for growth that his team can attain, and is looking forward to the experience his team will gain at the tournament.
"It's a great opportunity for our players to test themselves against some of the best players in the world," Cardoso said. "We have a young, talented squad, and this experience will be invaluable for their development."
The Mamelodi Sundowns coach concluded with a message of unwavering focus on the challenge ahead.
"We have to take things one game at a time and give our best in every match. Our goal is to compete against the best and show what we are capable of."
The team will now focus on final preparations before the Club World Cup begins, with the first match against Fluminense slated for later this week.
Will Cardoso's men be able to surprise some and make it out of a tough group? We will have to wait and see.
