We prepare for all the teams the same way, we really executed our game plan well.   "I, therefore, think that a compliment should go to everyone who was involved with the preparation and execution for this encounter. Everybody did what they were required to do."   Meanwhile, the German also spared a thought for the Amakhosi faithful, saying, "They came in big numbers and added to the spectacle. I'm glad we gave them the performance they deserve."   Next up for Chiefs is Baroka FC this coming weekend, with a chance to move back into the top five up for grabs.    Toyota, drive your obsession     SLTV: Larsen: Rakhale Should Get A Look In At Bafana
