Despite injury and suspension absences, Amakhosi coach Arthur Zwane remains upbeat about Kaizer Chiefs’ chances ahead of their DStv Premiership game against Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Saturday evening. Zwane has a lot of positives to take into the game as Chiefs head to Kwa Zulu Natal on a winning run, and the coach has also been buoyed by his team’s output and the work they have put in on the training. In the build up to the match, he breaks down key issues ahead of the clash, as Chiefs look to compete a league double over Maritzburg and go in search of a third win of the campaign over them in all competitions this season.
The guys are looking good preparing for the next game, which we are looking forward to and want to win. Knowing we are playing away is not going to be an easy one; we going to have to give our best to know that we going to get the desired result. The morale is good in the camp. It has always been good, even though at some point we have not been getting wins, the guys have been tremendously positive and are giving their best in every session.
Today is match day minus one and we are doing strategic sessions. The guys are paying attention to detail, which is key. Once you see players so hyped up and focused, you know that we are in the right frame of mind. We are just hoping that lady luck will be on our side in converting the chances that we create. When we played them in the Cup game, it took over 100 minutes before we scored our first goal. For 90 minutes, we were on top of them though we did not take our chances and we knew at some point they would drop. This time around, we going to have to do that inside 90 minutes to make sure that we get the result.
