We know Maritzburg United well – Baxter

“We know Maritzburg quite well, we know their players quite well. We know that Ernst is a coach that likes to surprise and change things up to suit the opponent.” Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter told the club’s official website.

“You have to go into the Maritzburg game knowing the principles that they use and knowing the possibilities that can happen. And then you have to really create a game plan that we can change if we need to ratchet it up to kill the game.

“Hopefully, the players look at it as this is a new year, a new team, new circumstances and therefore history shouldn’t be a burden. Even when I was around at Kaizer Chiefs the first time, we won a few, but Maritzburg was always a difficult game. The same when I was at SuperSport. It’s not one where you just go there and it’s just a walk in the park.

“That never happens and I’m not expecting that. We’ve told the players if we want to take our season forward, then we’ve got to get better and not standstill. So we’ve worked on a few things Kaizer Chiefs hope we can focus on and put energy into and hopefully that focus will remove the focus away from previous results.”
