How Amazulu plan to beat Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs would be expected to start the game strong considering the position and Folz hopes they are ready for the game Amakhosi bring.

Chiefs have experience and toughness in the middle of the park and it won’t be easy to edge those crucial early battles.

“I’m expecting the game to be very much competitive in terms of challenges. I think it’s going to be very much on the physical aspect and who’s able to take the pace on and knock the ball. By that, I mean also who’s able to win the challenges early in the game.

“So, I think it’s going to be a key element and I also think that the tactical element is also going to be very important going into the game. Both teams have good players, so It’s going to be a matter of the best team in the key element for me the tactical point can be the crucial one in that game. So, it’s going to be a very competitive game, that’s what you can expect, but we are ready for the game, and we are looking forward to it,” said Folz, speaking to the media ahead of the clash.

Not time to judge yet

Folz is happy with how his team are progressing despite being winless under his care.

“It’s important as you can guess, if you win that game you’re going to the final. So, the game is very important for us, as for them. Any team in that position will tell you it’s very important game but, in all honesty, the game of yesterday (Maritzburg) was also very important for us but again it’s one thing to give a poor performance and not get the result and it’s another thing to have to judge the performance only partially because of the events happening. I’m sure we’re going to bring what we need to bring in that game and let the best team win that game, we’ll see,” the coach added.
