Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler wants his charges to be ‘brave’ when they face on-form Kaizer Chiefs in the semifinals of the Telkom Knockout at Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.
Tinkler is well aware that they have a difficult task on their hands as Maritzburg make the long trip from their base in Pietermaritzburg to Nelspruit to face an Amakhosi side riding the crest of the wave on the back of an impressive run of eight straight wins in all competitions.
“We know how strong they are‚ we know that they are having a great season and we know that their confidence is very high‚” said Tinkler. Chiefs have been in good form but the same can be said about Maritzburg who are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions where they won five and drawn two.
"We haven’t lost in seven games and players must also understand that you don’t want to change a winning team‚ so you just have to manage the players.
