Being underdogs against Egypt’s mighty Al Ahly might just be the biggest advantage the local lads have over their illustrious opponents
Kaizer Chiefs players arrive in Casablanca in Morocco. Picture: @KaizerChiefs/TwitterKaizer Chiefs have arrived from a midwinter freeze in Johannesburg to a hot and humid Casablanca where their only focus is on winning the Caf Champions League final‚ winger Happy Mashiane said.
For Amakhosi‚ reaching the Champions League final is already a victory and they have less to lose in not winning it than Ahly‚ whose supporters would be livid at a defeat to such complete outsiders. After a long trip via Lagos to reach Morocco‚ arriving late on Wednesday night‚ Mashiane said Chiefs had some cobwebs to stretch out in their first training session there on Thursday afternoon.
“The trip was fine. It’s just that it was too long and you get tired‚ and most of the time you have to just walk around stretching to get used to the travelling.Another potential advantage for Chiefs is that they finished their domestic season six weeks ago and have been able to rest before focusing on the final.
