Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Willard Katsande


Willard Katsande says Kaizer Chiefs have been ‘sharpening their swords’ going into the CAF Champions League final with Al Ahly this weekend.

The long serving Amakhosi midfielder, who joined the club in 2011 from Ajax Cape Town, is eager to represent his beloved club on such a special occasion.

Katsande and co. will be featuring in the CAF final for Chiefs for the first time, with the player acknowledging just what it means to him and his team.

He told the club’s official website: “Going into the cup final, we have been sharpening our swords and cooking up something very big. As a Kaizer Chiefs family, we believe in ourselves, in our philosophy and in what we are going to dish out on match day.

“We have worked very hard in camp. The technical team is doing everything to ensure they make our roles as simple as possible and that everyone knows what is expected of them.”

Katsande added: “The unity within the team is very strong. We have always been tight, but now we are even closer and we are all singing the same song. You can feel the spirit, it is not normal. It is something very strong.

“We have been putting in the work and the guys are ready. We are going to be on another level of thinking when we take the plane to Morocco.”
