The most important game is the next game – Khune

Captain, Itumeleng Khune has said that the most important game in his mind is the Soweto derby this coming Tuesday pitting Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows.



Kick-off for the potential explosive clash is at 19h30 on Tuesday, 20 November 2012 at Soccer City Complex, Soweto. Tickets for the game are already on sale at Computicket including Shoprite/Checkers nationwide.



Khune has been solid as a rock between the poles both for the Club and country and was at his best on Wednesday despite not stopping Collins Mbesuma’s rocket winning goal against Zambia in the Nelson Mandela Challenge.



“I am focusing on the next game against Swallows. This is the biggest game for me because it is the next game,” Khune told kaizerchiefs.com on Monday morning.



“Swallows have done well recently and they cannot be underestimated. They have assembled a good team and one has to look at what they have achieved in the past two seasons. We need to be at our best to beat them,” he said.



“We are happy that we have gone so many games unbeaten and we are determined to continue with the good run we have enjoyed this season.



“People have spoken about us beating Swallows in recent years but that will count for nothing on Tuesday. The derby is about bragging rights and Swallows will go out there and fight for every ball and their badge….which is the same for us.



Khune also took time to praise his teammate, Lehlohonolo Majoro, following his brace against SuperSport United in the last game; “He has done well. He has been working hard in training pushing him to the limit.



I do think though the credit should go to everyone in the team from the Management, the squad, Technical Team and the fans for the way we have started this season. We know that we still have a long way to go,” added Khune.
