“The most important thing about football is playing a game every two or three days,” says coach Gavin Hunt when looking ahead to Kaizer Chiefs’ DStv Premiership encounter against TS Galaxy this evening. “The best thing is not to wait another week after a win or loss – we need to play. It is a life of any footballer. I do not want to talk about the previous game because today’s game is more important. Obviously, we must get better because we have to get ourselves up the league table.
“TS Galaxy are a good side. There are no pushovers in the Premiership. They have gelled and have put a couple of good players together. So, it is not going to be an easy game. The opportunity is there again to win the match. We obviously do not have a big squad, so, the main thing now is to get the players that played the part last season fit again. We all know one of them which is Samir Nurković is not in squad and it is a huge blow for us. He scored a lot of goals last season and you can see we have a challenge already in that area.
“Tower (Erick Mathoho) was out with injury. We have to get him fit again. We need to do the same with Katsande. They are the spine of the team. Keletso Sifama is out with injury which leaves a gap in our attacking options.”
Kaizer Chiefs will play TS Galaxy (who acquired the status of Highlands Park) for the first time in the DStv Premiership.
“Every game is a new challenge,” concludes Hunt. “I don’t look at the previous records. You saw over the weekend, we beat Pirates three times last season but look what happened on Saturday, they beat us. You look at that result and ask yourself if it was a true reflection of the game.
“Galaxy have former Highlands Park players who provide them with some steel and energetic players from Galaxy itself, so it is going to be an interesting game.”
Returning from injury and available for this game is defender Kgotso Moleko.
Kick-off is at 19:30 at FNB Stadium. The game will be screened live on SuperSport Channel 202 and live commentary carried on various SABC radio stations.
