Baroka coach warns Chiefs

Sello Chokoe tells KickOff.com that Kaizer Chiefs will have to sweat for victory when they play his boys, Baroka FC, on Sunday.
The Vodacom League outfit raised eyebrows when they beat PSL side Moroka Swallows to reach the Nedbank Cup last eight round, and Chokoe is adamant it was not a fluke.
"We want it badly and the fact that we are completing our League programme on Wednesday against Nobella FC means we will focus only on Chiefs," he tells KickOff.com.
"If you look at the way we played against Swallows, let alone that they were playing their second team, you will realise tactically we were very disciplined and we were never too excited like youngsters appearing on TV for the first time! The players were cool and calm," the 28-year-old says.
"Our game plan will be for Chiefs as a whole, not necessarily to keep specific players quiet "

"Even if the stadium is full we won't make schoolboy errors for Kaizer Chiefs to win. They must come with a tactical plan that will be stronger than ours. It won't be a walk in the park for them, definitely.
"We are lucky to have played a Premiership team before, so playing against another Premiership team won't be a problem for us. Chiefs will get the respect they deserve off-the-field, but on the field we are surely going to make life difficult for them," he continues.
Chokoe says Sekorokoro's plan is not to focus on certain Amakhosi players.
"We can't overlook players such as Musona and Tshabalala, but our game-plan will be for Chiefs as a whole, not necessarily to keep specific players quiet," he says.
"We also have a lot of players to look out for; players like Katlego Mashego, who was tormenting the Swallows' defence in terms of pace, so he will be a key player. Also keep a close eye on our striker Thobani Mncwango," Chokoe concludes.
Mashego, who has starred for Amabinneplaas, has been linked with a move to Bloemfontein Celtic.
