Zwane blocking out the noise

“There are three points which are at stake. So, we’ll have to focus on getting the win and forget about the noise that is happening from the outside.” – The Kaizer Chiefs coach said as quoted by IOL.

“As far as I know, I’m the head coach of Kaizer Chiefs and I’ve always been saying that the club has always had a plan. We’ve got a plan.”

“I’m not going into this game worried about my job or worried about any other things. The focus is on playing this game and making sure the players apply themselves correctly.

“The boys must focus on the game plan and the game itself because if we focus on the noise now, by the time the game starts they’ll already be tired,”
