Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has explained what they will be banking on ahead of the Soweto Derby clash against Orlando Pirates over the weekend. SLSiya Read more:
Chiefs missed the chance to setup a derby MTN8 final against Pirates after they were eliminated in the semi-finals by AmaZulu on the away goals' rule after a 1-1 draw on aggregate. The Glamour Boys did not have any shots on target, as they were held to a goalless draw by Usuthu in the second leg. Zwane says their league game in midweek, where they came from behind to draw 2-2 with TS Galaxy took a lot of energy out of his players.
"So, when you look at the game, obviously we know how AmaZulu play, trying to slow the game down and buying time. We wanted to win but ultimately the chances we missed in the first leg came back to haunt us," he carried on. In contrast to another big game coming up, Chiefs will have a full week to prepare before taking on bitter rivals Pirates in a league game on Saturday.
"Now, we shift our focus to the next game, which is Orlando Pirates. They have been doing very well so we have to do everything in our power to do well and come out with a positive result," he added. Striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana was reportedly a doubt before the AmaZulu game, with fitness issues and needed medical attention early in the second stanza before he was replaced.
