Kaizer Chiefs vs MP Black Aces


FNB Stadium


Wednesday 09 April 2014

Tsepo Masilela has expressed gratitude to the support that Chiefs has been getting at the stadium.

It is always a great feeling to get the kind of support that we saw at FNB Stadium against Mamelodi Sundowns. We are almost there and the supporters have been supporting us from day 1 of this season. It has been a long journey. The supporters know that we win some and lose some. When we win the league, they will be part of the celebrations. said Masilela.

Losing against Sundowns

We have to bounce back. No doubt, we have to soldier on. Sundowns is water under the bridge, we have another 3-points at stake against Black Aces. We have to win all our remaining games. Defending our league trophy is in our hands. We have three days before the game which will give us a bit of time to rest and prepare well for Aces. We know what is at stake.

About Aces as opponents

At this stage of the league all the opponents are fighting for something in the league. Some are fighting for the league honours, others for the Top-8 spot and to stay in top flight football. All the opponents are very tough. Aces play nice football and they have an Afcon winning Coach in Clive Barker. It is not going to be an easy game.

Comment on the tight schedule

We are a big Team. We are taking it one game at a time. Big Teams want to get involved in every available trophy therefore the pressure is part of our makeup as a Team. The expectations are also part of us. When the time comes to play in the league we will focus on that game, the same goes with the competitions.

Kick-off is at 19:30 and gates will be opened at 16:30.
