Chippa United Take Aim At Kaizer Chiefs

Chippa United Take Aim At Kaizer Chiefs

Dan Malesela

Chippa United coach Dan Malesela has encouraged his side to focus on the game against Kaizer Chiefs, following the Port Elizabeth team's 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United on Tuesday.

Malesela says he is not anticipating a defensive Chiefs' side in their game on Saturday. 

"Our focus has now shifted to Kaizer Chiefs. We have one day to prepare for the game on Saturday, and will make the most of it. We have forced changes due to injuries, so we have to get the balance right on Saturday. We take lessons from each and every game we play, and it was not different against Maritzburg United on Tuesday where we came back with a valuable point.

"We had the same story on Tuesday and I am hoping, in fact I believe, that this story will end on Saturday, where we concede one and then miss 10 chances. The challenge sometimes is that we always look at a team and their style of play but when we play them it becomes a different thing. This makes it difficult to plan according to the way the opposition plays, but our focus is on improving our play and breaking down solid defense.

"I do not think Kaizer Chiefs will do that (employ ultra-defensive tactics) on Saturday though. They are a team that always look to dominate and attack. I think they will come here and play, it will be an open game. They are not coming here for a draw. They want maximum points, as do we.

"The expression on the players' faces after the Maritzburg game was that; we need to start scoring goals. Come Saturday, I think we will," Malesela told the Chippa website, as issued by the club's Luthando Zibeko.
