He said, "We are focusing to capitalize on our strengths… We will do the talking on the pitch. This is another stepping stone that we must follow to advance to the next round. It's a very important match…   "We aren't watching much of their setup. We will rely mainly on our strength to unlock and dominate them. We are well prepared to take them on. We are confident that our strength will reign."   The German was also pleased to have had some proper time on the training field with his players as their schedule opened up of late, adding, "In recent weeks, we have had time for good periods of training sessions. Certain elements of the game require thorough training sessions. A game is for application and without training you can't apply your tactics and strategies properly. We are getting there. I'm content."   Chiefs v the Magic will get underway at 15h00 this afternoon.
