We’re in it to win it! – Seema

“We also need to win this cup, that is why we are in it. Maybe the expectation is higher on the side of Mamelodi Sundowns but even our supporters have high expectations because it is a new season and we are in the semifinals.” Golden Arrows head coach Lehlohonolo Seema said.

“We are not here to add numbers. The pressure is on both sides because I know that our fans are expecting us to perform. The players know what is at stake, and I told them that one way to make this game more exciting is if we play our way and not be consumed by the event. If we go down, we are not going to go down without a fight.

“I did not have to change anything. When the chairlady was looking for a coach, she did her homework and got the kind of coach that she wanted. I am here to add on what the team has already been doing, there is nothing much that we can change here. I did not come with a different philosophy and we’ll be looking for a victory against Mamelodi Sundowns!”
