Isaac Chansa - Bucs must not concede goals

Bucs must not concede goals at home

Posted: 2010-09-10 13:29

Orlando Pirates midfielder Isaac Chansa has spoken about the need to avoid conceding at home when they host Kaizer Chiefs in the first leg of the MTN8 Cup semi-final on Saturday night at FNB Stadium. 

Kick-Off for the Soweto Derby is at 20h15.
 
The in-form Zambian believes it will important to keep a clean sheet as to avoid the burden of playing with added pressure in the return leg a fortnight later.
 
"We have to be careful with conceding goals at home, especially since this is our home game in a semi-final that is being played on a home and away basis. We just have to score as many as we can so that the second game becomes easier for us.
 
"Matches played over two legs are usually won by away goals advantage so for us we should making sure that we avoid conceding and then score as many as possible," says Chansa who has been the stand-out player at Bucs so far this season.
 
With the anthem of plenty chances created with no goals scored still being sung loudly in the Bucs camp, Chansa adds that they are working on their finishing that Ruud Krol has already mentioned he is worried about.
 
"We are going to work on our finishing like the coach said so that come Saturday we utilise the chances that we create. In football games are won by scoring goals and it is what we intend doing on Saturday. You can never find pleasure in creating chances when you are making use of them to win games so that will have to change on Saturday," adds the Zambian.
 
Chiefs, being a team that is playing pretty well at the moment though they tend to slow down in the second-half, Chansa says he is aware of the threat that they pose, particularly with the dangerous Zimbabwean Knowledge Musona. 
 
"We have seen Chiefs play and it is no doubt that they are playing good football at the moment and have individual players playing well. Come Saturday we are going to match them because we have also been working on our weaknesses just as we have been working on exploiting their weak points.
 
"I know that he (Musona) is a good player but we are not planning for him as an individual but Chiefs as a team because that is who we will face and have to prepare for. It is not right to plan for an individual when you are playing against a team," says Chansa.
 
The 26-year-old also plays down his injury after he was substituted in the goalless mid-week draw against Free State Stars.
 
"It is nothing to worry about as it was more of a precaution and I should be ready for Saturday," he adds.

I agree with yr sentiments Chansa mara you are 26yrs wena. Affter 2 seasons you are retiring. Thanks to your clinical shooting you might make it three @ a second division club.

I am impressed by this guy's shooting.

goshaba!: 2010-09-10 14:03

the messed up ghosts of tikoloshis will concede many goals and THATS A FACT

mugabel: 2010-09-10 14:05

Mr Krol we were very lucky to be drawn against the weakest team in the PSL(Kenya Chimps), if we loose or draw Mabena and Mbuyane must escourt you out of the stadium.

Wonder: 2010-09-10 14:10

Moeneeb Joseph must just practice saving penalties, thats the only way his opponents will have a chance to score, probably on a fake one as well, other than that, this is a dead snake wearing bronze and gold!

KG: 2010-09-10 14:19

mayambela offnie mayambela, ikhosi liyaphomelela. shapa musona shapa !

Swona (Treble): 2010-09-10 14:30

they must get a sober refree for this match and the second leg, we tend to get red cards of key players when we play chiefs, and Chansa, pls my man watch your temper, you and Lekgwati will be the refs target men, with the ref's assistance Chiefs can win this one, but without, on an open game, OP will win

SNYEMFU: 2010-09-10 14:34

Wonder: 2010-09-10 14:10 [ Report ]

True at Wonder, come Monday, Sylvest Ndaba would claim ukuthi it's was a legitimate penalty.

Moeneb indeed must polish his penalty saving skills.

Happy @ mhluzi : 2010-09-10 14:47

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-09-10 14:56

@Isaac chansa,

You are wrong boy. We have to plan oround their dangerman. Kaizer Cheats will kill you with the match officials. So make sure you dont protest referee's decision against the cheats or its a straight red card, ask mahamutsa. Make sure you dont even touch the chimp players in the box or else its a penalty. Make sure you score goals that can not be disputed in all angles or else they will say its an offside, Ask fire masilela. the only people we fear its match officials.

Marenkeni: 2010-09-10 14:57

Not possible Chansa. You are now taking chances. This is not lotto my boy. Its chiefs. 3 - 0 I give you tomorrow. Go out! ****** agent.

Josephs,Jele,Cloete,Mahamutsa,Johannes,Jali,Chansa,Klate,Tlou,Teko,Ontorogu
Teko mus play behind striker coz i know he reserves best 4 chips
Mayambela wil cum in 2nd half as he lacks stamina,i like his type of play bt he tires quickly like Doc.Mbuyane n Mabena mus neva b close 2 da bench

MyView: 2010-09-10 14:59

Dear Mr Khoza, would you please sign Sandile "AK47" Ndlovu, I strongly believe he will do a good job, looking at the quality of service he will be guaranteed to receive from the wings and midfield. I know he hasn't done any wonders recently but I am sure he find his form and do well. Is he not better than Otorugu? Just wondering.

Mxolisi: 2010-09-10 15:47

Talk...talk and more talk,hey this pirates cows they are newcomers in these kind of games. My advice for them is to use this experience as a learning curve cos thre is no way in which they'r going to win this game.I once said this MTN8 is for Chiefs and i'll say it once again. Money to Naturena!!

shatim: 2010-09-10 17:03

Mr editor come on, like when? They will concede plenty for that matter ba mo mpyeng

Great-1: 2010-09-10 17:17

Stephen 'Do you fancy a beer?' Kihn


I back Chiefs to sink the Buccaneers in this one. At the moment, Amakhosi are a more settled unit, both on and off the field. Bucs coach Ruud Krol remains a man under-fire, with reports suggesting he is living on borrowed time. His bloated midfield options are also both a blessing and a curse with big name players set for lengthy spells on the bench. 2-1 to the Glamour Boys.



Trevor 'I once appeared in a German magazine' Kramer


It's probably about time that Kaizer Chiefs won a Soweto derby. There has been a significant lack of goals between these two sides in recent matches - but that is all set to change on Saturday. An early goal from the Sea Robbers will kick off proceedings, with Chiefs fighting manfully to regain the equilibrium, before snatching the lead early in the second half. An attempted Pirates comeback will only serve to open them up in defence with Chief*****ting the killer blow late on. 3-1 Chiefs. Can I have my tea please now?



Richard 'I once appeared in a different kind of German magazine' Ferraris


I foresee a 2-0 win for Kaizer Chiefs. Unlike Ruud Krol who has no idea what his best XI is, Vlad V has a settled line-up. Best of all, the Serbian fields an attacking team.



Andrew 'I walked to the shop alone' Hallett


Despite all the talk of attacking play, this first leg is going to end either 0-0 or 1-1. These two teams always seem to cancel each other out and that makes for a rather boring affair. I would love to see a 5-4 thriller, but I just can't see that happening. Hopefully the fans won't turn on their teams on the day.

LOVE AND PEACE FOR EVER

There's no person who will say he cannot see that chiefs will be pirates period 3-1 to chiefs.

Great-1: 2010-09-10 18:00

Honestly people always lead us astray but im awake now do you think pirates can beat kaizerchiefs with such a useless team they have whilst kaizer chiefs has a good team you know lets just agree on that we will never be on the same and proffessional as chiefs Makonese,Manyisa,clate,mbuyane and Chansa we played a draw with chiefs due to chansa he was desposesed and resulted to a goal Chenene,Mothibantwa,Mthembu and Steve please come back theres no one who will make me happy at pirates Maliyavuza ben10 Movite Macdonalds Modise is just fooling us Tivani Go sleep You are alone in this one im so afraid of Chiefs Bullet,yende,shaba rangs,yeye and nale whos going to stop those people Lucky,manyisa,jele,Makondese yahhhhh its had to be a pirates.

Once a Pirates and always Failures
Krol GO! before it's to late.

Swona (Treble): 2010-09-11 12:46

Chiefs can only win on penalties! OP diffence has been the best since Krol took charge, but we dont score enough goals, if we can score a goal, it's not enough, but two and more is what is needed, Craig is good in attack, Krol diffence, if the two can combine their techtics well, OP will be a force, players we have, good once, we just need the correct combination, we just missing an inch to peferction, Chimps must not celebrate yet for they might be that team we will catch our rytheme on! UP the Bucs!
