Chiefs manager Bobby Motaung said: "When one compares them to
other teams that we have played in this competition so far, Sunday's
match will definitely be the toughest."
Amakhosi have maintained a hundred percent record in this competition also known
as the Mandela Cup. Their first encounter was against US Stade
Tapponnaise of the Reunion which they won 3-2 on aggregate, while
their second fixture against Sunshine from Seychelles was also won
5-0 on aggregate.
"Things have been going very well for us and we prepared for all
the games differently. We now have new players who will be boosting
the side that has already done well and we know that if we are
serious about winning this cup then we have to win on Sunday.
"Waiting for the second leg could be very dangerous because we
do not know what might happen away from home."
The four new players Motaung refers to are Nhlanhla Kubeka,
Stanton Fredericks, Gary Goldstone and Rene Richards.
Motaung said they were currently viewing tapes of their
opponents.
"They have good strikers and defensively they are very strong
but that does not worry us because looking at Chiefs at the moment,
we are excelling in every department and our players are dedicated
to fight until the end."
Motaung promised the fans that this game was going to be a
thrilleremphasising this by claiming, "this is our season".
The game will be broadcast live on Supersport 3 at 3 pm.
