Erasmus Names Three Best Ever Teammates
Pirates are set to take on Stuart Baxter's SuperSport United in the showcase event this afternoon in the Peter Mokaba Stadium and Mhlongo has explained that his team have been looking forward to the game ever since they discovered who they would be playing.
"We have been talking about this day," he told the Siya crew. "We wanted it to come so that we can play, win the trophy and finish the season on a high note after the poor start to the season."
Mhlongo went on to say that his team needs to up their game after managing only a draw against the Tshwane-based side last weekend in their Absa Premiership encounter.
"After the league game on Saturday we have to raise our game and make sure we win and lift the trophy at the end of the game," he continued. "We won't be taking our opponents lightly because we know what they are capable of doing. We also have to make sure we keep a clean sheet this time around before winning the game and lift the trophy," Mhlongo explained.
