Sundowns Defender Ready for Tough Chiefs Test

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Terrence Mashego has outlined his team’s expectations ahead of their crucial Carling Knockout Cup quarterfinal clash against Kaizer Chiefs. All eyes will be on the FNB Stadium come Saturday evening when the pair square off.

Mashego acknowledged that the current Chiefs squad has undergone significant changes compared to previous seasons, making them a formidable opponent. However, he expressed confidence in Sundowns’ ability to leverage their experience and overcome the pressure associated with such a big match.

During an interview with iDiski Times, Mashego said,

The last game that we played against Kaizer Chiefs, it was difficult even though we managed to win it but it was not an easy game,”.

“So going to this match I know that it will be a difficult game. It’s not going to be an easy game. At the moment Chiefs are doing well with the new coach and also new players.

“The last game they managed to score four goals against SuperSport of which it’s a sign that they are doing well at the moment, so we are anticipating a tough game.

“In terms of playing against Chiefs, I know that I have played against Chiefs nine times and I lost only once but I don’t dwell too much into history.

“But there are few lessons that I have learned from those games that I have played against Chiefs, especially in terms of handling pressure and handling the atmosphere so I’d say those are the lessons that I’d take going into this game.”
