Josta Dladla believes that he and his teammates are up to the pressure that comes with wearing the Gold & Black.
The Soweto born midfielder was speaking to kaizerchiefs.com following a goalless draw away to Mamelodi Sundowns on Tuesday evening.
Dladla started in the heart of midfield alongside Reneilwe Letsholonyane while Siyabonga Nkosi and Matthew Rusike were on the bench.
"A point away from home against Mamelodi Sundowns is not bad at all," said Dladla.
"We did quite well and its the game that we would have won if we had taken our chances. It is now water under the bridge and we will need to focus on our next assignment against Free State Stars.
Josta is aware that Free State Stars will come with their guns blazing following their 3-0 drubbing of Chippa United.
"Every team wants to prove a point when playing against us and Stars will not be different. Pressure is the name of the game and here at Chiefs it comes with the territory.
Dladla, a league winner at Mamelodi Sundowns, believes his teammates have what it takes to take the pressure.
"We have experienced players in the team who understand what is at stake. We know that there is a thin line between winning and losing.
We just need to carry on giving our best and defend the Club's badge.

The tickets are going for R40 for adults and R10 for juveniles. The game starts at 20:15.
