Swallows head coach Brandon Truter says his side do not change the way they play for anyone ahead of this weekend’s much-anticipated MTN8 clash with Orlando Pirates.
The season gets underway with two mouthwatering Gauteng derbies – Swallows and Pirates as well as Kaizer Chiefs versus Mamelodi Sundowns.
Swallows have brought in the likes of Jody February, Yagan Sasman, Austin Muwowo, Tebogo Langerman, Mwape Musonda, Khethukuthula Ndlovu and Thandani Ntshumayelo to bolster their squad and Truter says his side will show plenty of ambition and take the game to the Buccanneers.
“We have a certain amount of arrogance here in our playing style where we do not change,” Truter said.
“We’re not scared to say this is how we play and you adapt to what you want to do against us.
“We have our style, we have our mindset and that applies for anyone this season as well. That’s what we’re trying to instil in the boys. We want to be fearless on the field of play and whether it’s home or away, our playing style and our philosophy will not change.
“We will not have the mindset that when we are away to look for a draw. That’s not in our DNA, that’s not in our culture. We are Swallows, this is how we’ll play and this is what we’ll do on the day and you change if you want to but we will not change.”
