Mokwena wary of dangerous Amakhosi
“Kaizer Chiefs is still a very big club; they deserve a lot of respect. The fixture between Sundowns and Chiefs is always one that is highly anticipated and, of course brings a lot of attention because of the magnitude of both clubs,” Mamelodi Sundowns Co-coach Rhulani Mokwena said.
“But the reality is that against Chiefs, you have to be very sober minded when you do your analysis and not derive anything from their log position or their unfortunate result against Cape Town City, they still have very good players, with huge pedigree and very good experience. Khama Billiat, Samir Nurkovic, Lebogang Manyama and some very good youngsters in Njabulo Blom and also Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, who is doing exceptionally well.
“So, they’re a good team, a big team. Kaizer Chiefs, we have a lot of respect for them with a very good coach in Gavin Hunt, he is experienced, he knows what he is doing, and he needs a little bit more time, but he’s someone I have great admiration and huge respect for. So, when you think of that and you profile them, a big club with big players and a big coach, so you know it’s going to be a big game.”
