Chippa ready for Chiefs

Chippa United coach Dan “Dance” Malesela says there will not be any special treatment for Kaizer Chiefs when the two sides meet in a Premier Soccer League fixture, at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium this afternoon (6pm).

The Port Elizabeth side will be out to break their winless streak today against the Soweto giants.

Chippa have not won in seven league matches with their most recent result being a 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United.

Like most teams who tend to sit at the back and play a defensive approach when playing against the Chilli Boys, Malesela says he won’t be surprised if Chiefs do the same.

“We played Pirates and there was a time where they also played defensively. I hope that the game will be an open one,” said Malesela.

“If we score early the game will open up a little because the opponents will want to attack.”

Malesela believes two things need to happen today if they want to win against Amakhosi.

One is taking proper instructions to avoid conceding at the back and the other is to take shots at goal.

“I think one of the biggest things that we really have to do in terms of defending is to take given game instructions very well and to the letter.
