Kaizer Chiefs midfield play maker Mthokozisi Yende believes that Chiefs can still play a role in deciding the outcome of the league title.

They plan to give it their all to ensure that the Amakhosi manage to stretch current league leaders Ajax Cape Town to the limit when they face the Urban Warriors in an Absa Premiership clash on Saturday afternoon.



Yende said of Chiefs up coming encounter against Ajax who currently have a three point cushion over second place Orlando Pirates at the top of the table, “we have our honor and our brand to play for in the games that are left for us this season.



Ajax are the form team in the league at the moment, they obviously have the title on their mind. For us it will mean a lot to get a win against a team who are pushing for the championship.”



According to Yende Chiefs are relishing the opportunity to have their say in deciding where the Absa Premiership trophy will land up.

“It’s important for us to go out there and give Ajax a team who are strong in all departments a real difficult run out, like I said they want the title and hopefully we can test them by putting up a real good showing from our side.



It would be nice to deal a hand in deciding who can call themselves the champions later this month.”



The Chiefs number ten also holds the view that it is vital for the Amakhosi to round of the 2010 – 2011 season on a high note.

“The best way for us to look forward is to end this season by closing off with a row of victories.



We also have a view to next season and we want to come back stronger in the future and the best way to do that would be to finish as high up in the table as we can this season that will help set a bench mark for us on which to build in the next campaign.”



Despite losing two games in a row Yende insists that Chiefs are not short of incentives as they look ahead to facing Ajax, “we might be hurting after these recent loses but we not short of courage and motivation.

We are highly motivated for the game like I said we playing for our fans and we hope to make them smile on Saturday.”
