Having faced Cape Town City FC in the Mother City on Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs are preparing to lock horns on Tuesday with another team from the Western Cape, Stellenbosch FC, in their next DStv Premiership fixture.
Kick-off at the FNB Stadium is at 19:30.
Amakhosi head coach Cavin Johnson shared his thoughts on the upcoming clash with second-placed Stellies.
On playing games in quick succession:
The dynamics have been different. We haven’t had this many back-to-back games since I have been with the team. We returned from Cape Town on Saturday night and had a regeneration session at 02:00 so as to allow the players to rest all of Sunday, which is the best recovery. On Monday we trained and we’ll be ready for Tuesday night.
On facing Stellenbosch FC:
We will need to have a better performance than on the weekend. They are near the top of the league, and not for no reason. They are a very good side and we’ll have to have all our ducks in a row to compete with them, but they are coming to FNB (stadium) and if we are not aggressive and arrogant on our own home ground then we won’t get what we are looking for.
On chasing a CAF Champions League spot:
It is our intention to fight for every point still available in the remainder of the season. We still believe we can make it. If you don’t believe, you may as well pack it in. As Kaizer Chiefs, we’ll never do that.
Message for the Amakhosi faithful:
As always, the support of our fans plays a big role in inspiring the players on the field. We would love as many of our fans to come to the game and support us to show that when you play away to Kaizer Chiefs, you play against the crowd too. FNB (stadium) must be a fortress, where no team looks forward to playing, and no team comes to win.
Tickets are still available for the match at R60.
Meanwhile, there will be three other DStv Premiership matches played on Tuesday night.
