Manyisa – We don’t fear Chiefs
Posted: 2011-07-21 11:57
Orlando Pirates midfielder Oupa Manyisa says there is no reason to be fearful of Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the clash tonight.
The Soweto Derby will be played at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth at 20.15pm, and the winner of this encounter will face Tottenham Hotspur for the Final of the Vodacom Challenge at Coca-Cola Park on Saturday.
Manyisa, who was Man of the Match when Bucs drew 1-1 with Spurs on Tuesday in Nelspruit, tells KickOff.com his team is up to the challenge against their perennial rivals.
“We watched them play on Saturday [against Spurs] and we are not scared of them,” ‘Ace’ says.
“We played on Tuesday, but we are not tired. Of course it will be a tough game, but we have to go there and take our chances. We are going to win,” he adds confidently.
