The University of Pretoria have been handed a tough draw in quarterfinals of the competition this season. Mamelodi Sundowns will understandably be overwhelming favourites to progress to the next round. “Anyone who is given an opportunity will not take it for granted and they will all come to the party. Some of them are still very young and they need this platform to showcase their talent.“In 2009 when we played against Moroka Swallows, nobody knew who Andile Jali was. He found himself on a platform like this and he took it with both hands. In the league, we believed that we could get automatic promotion before we started and even today we still have belief in that desire.
“Playing aggressively is part of our game. We are a bit more direct in our approach and our nature is that we have to be aggressive,” he said.
