Platinum Stars' head coach, Allan Freese, says that he's not worried by the departure of some of his key players.
Dikwena have already lost the likes of Siphelele Mthembu (Kaizer Chiefs) and Lindokuhle Mbatha (Mamelodi Sundowns), while Mogakolodi Ngele has also been linked with a move away from the club.
However, as Dikwena prepare to face Sundowns in the MTN8 this weekend, Freese says that he's confident his side can continue to play positive football.
Speaking to Stars' official website, the coach said, "Pre-season has gone well, exactly according to the plan. We have played a couple of friendlies to get us ready physically and mentally, and I am happy with how those have gone.
"We are playing a Sundowns side that had quality players across the park and it will not be easy, but at the same time we have prepared as well as we can do and I am sure we will give a good account of ourselves. We will certainly give it our best.
"We are a bit of a different team from last year with some new players, and our big task has been to try and get the new players used to our style of play as soon as possible, but we will keep playing as we have in the last few years which has proved successful for us, we might just change things a little bit here and there for certain games.
"Ultimately though we will keep on attacking and keep on trying to win games with positive play."
Stars travel to Loftus Stadium on Saturday afternoon to take on the Brazilians at 15h00.
