“We also want to give confidence to the supporters and ourselves as the club. We are looking forward to doing our best in this tournament. So, if things work out well, we’ll be the first one to win this trophy.” the Kaizer Chiefs head coach told reporters.
“I think it’s good motivation for all of us. The new players and new technical team should look at it as an opportunity to say ‘let’s win this one and get settled’.
“We are looking that way, to say ‘It’s a competition and it’s 11 v 11, tactically and mentally’. We are ready as a team. And having scored a goal yesterday (Wednesday) brings confidence in the team to say ‘Yes, we can score goals’. Scoring goals will be the most important part.”
