Igesund: Penalties will decide it

Local coaches are predicting a tough and exciting MTN8 Final

Posted: 9 September 2011 Time: 01:11 pm

Local coaches are predicting a tough and exciting MTN8 Final between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday. 

Speaking to KickOff.com, Moroka Swallows coach Gordon Igesund predicted that the outcome will be decided on penalties.   "It's going to be a tough and exciting Final, Chiefs are in top form with Dladla and Majoro scoring goals. Pirates are also enjoying their best from in recent times. Both teams are hungry for glory but I don't see many goals scored in the game. I think is going to be 1-0 or decided on penalties."   "It is like a lottery, anyone can win it," says the former Pirates coach.   Bloemfontein Celtic coach Clinton Larsen however, has put his money on Chiefs to beat Pirates.   "It's going to be a tough game. Pirates have a physiological advantage over Chiefs based on their past two victories in the pre-season. But I have been very impressed with Chiefs since the beginning of new season. They are scoring goals.   "Both Majoro and Dladla are on fire upfront and Parker is improving as well as Yeye who is returning back from injury. There is going to be no Benni for Pirates and there is no extra fire upfront so I see Chiefs winning on Saturday."   Young up and coming coach Sello Chokoe who orchestrated the defeat of Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup while still with Vodacom side Baroka FC last season, believes that Pirates will walk away with the trophy.   "Pirates have got quality. Chiefs also have good players like Majoro and Parker but you when you close down Shabba half the job is done. He is the most dangerous player at Chiefs at moment. Pirates play collectively as a team and even if you close down Tlou Segolela but there will always be Mbuyane to shine."   Thanda Royal Zulu assistant coach Milton Dlamini shares Chokoe's sentiments and says the Ghost will have the last laugh on Saturday.

Its obvious clinton larsen will be against us, remember the siphelele mthembu sagga. Mthembu was their best attacker last season and we took him and yet we dont need him. Larsen is what we call a sour loser.

I was reading an article on times live and the writter says the chiefs middlefield will have a hard time dectating terms when the fearless andile jali is in full swing he can attack the somali pirates with a toothbrush if the coach tells him so.

We can't take what Igesund is saying serious. The man lost it completely. He made lot of noise about beating any team that play against Swallows. He claimed Swallows will be respected after playing Chiefs and Sundowns. Let me not remind him about the out come of those two games. He say closing Shabba is key, why didn't he do it with Swallows?

The same Igesund made prediction last year that Pirates will beat Chiefs only to be disappointed at the end. VV must remind all these supporters once more. Chiefs tomorrow will show everyone why and how Pirates should not be respected.

Why do we have to listen to other coaches while our own have said it all last night when Rob asked them, VV confidently said 3-1 to his favour while Leal couldint even open his mouth to answer that.

hehehehe... What did you expect from that slow coach. He was still speaking in Slow-Motion. I wonder how he is going to handle the questions tomorrow after the Massacre. Even giving instructions to his team comes very slow and that is when Chiefs will kill them.

Clinton Larsen is talking nonsense! He was the weakest link during his time at Bucs since he was brought by his pal (Igesund). He is talking his wishes not facts. Bucs will win this one.

Chokoe and Milton are Vodacom league coaches with who the "word" experience has not yet come to describe them; therefore, theirs can only be a random guess motivated by emotion and bias. Unchokonately for these novices the game is read by experience and pedigree. Chokoe's rise to fame by beating us should tell him, alas, that one lucky win over the Glamour boys is not a novel practice; small clubs and small coaches have once beaten Chiefs and dissappeared in the unknown, he is no different!!!!

Scoreline: Chiefs 5, Pierats 1

We gonna run riot!!!!

As I am browsing kickoff.com. I see Nani (Man U) on the right hand side of my monitor. Shaba (Khosi) on the left. I am not sure if my screen is broken because I struggle to see the midget in the middle. Somebody please advise.

@Dooba Monza,

It is the same small teams with inexpirience that beat Chimps. However, we know that a game of football is not won by predictions of coaches. You remember the MTN8 second round, everyone predicted Chimps will win a nd go to the final. What happened? bung! you are out. same thing, Telkom final, every coach said pirates will win. bung!! Krol gave it to the chimps.

I just cant wait for: SuperChamps vs SuperChimps.

@Major.com,

Lil is a wise man, a football match is not won by previous statistics nor a big mouth in conferences, it is won in the field of play. Kroll said we have found a weakness that will be exploited in the Chimp camp that we'll exploit and the ever loud VV said what weakness and Kroll said you will see during the match and VV said we'll talk after the match and after the match his mouth was reduced and he had nothing to say.
