“Ironically when we played them in September it was the same situation – a new coach came in‚ I think it was his first game.”
Middendorp admitted it has been difficult to plan for last-placed Durban team AmaZulu’s meeting against the league leaders at FNB Stadium given Usuthu coach Jozef Vukusic’s abrupt “special leave” this week.Chiefs’ coach said this has been compounded by four AmaZulu players being recalled this week from a suspension imposed midway through February.
“Now again a new technical team is responsible for putting something together. It makes it a bit difficult for us in terms of what AmaZulu are doing.“That’s one part of the preparation. But for every game then the second part is important. “And how will we do it – are we going more left‚ more right‚ more central? Are we skipping the midfield line‚ are we pressing high‚ or in zone two?“So we have put more effort on our side [of planning].”
