The challenge is that Sundowns are always highly motivated when facing Kaizer Chiefs, never taking anything for granted. However, I have faith that Chiefs will perform better this time around,” he advised KickOff.
“I don’t see them losing to Sundowns. In these types of games, players need to perform regardless of their form. Motivation should never be an issue. Many believe Sundowns will easily overcome Chiefs, but they often overlook that football is full of surprises.”
Cele tipped to guide Kaizer Chiefs to victory
Makua believes Chiefs will win or get a consequence in the event that they play as a group.
“The Chiefs players must approach the game as a cohesive unit. No individual heroics; it’s crucial to stick to the coach’s game plan. I believe Thabo Cele has the potential to lead us to victory, even though it will be a daunting task for Kaizer Chiefs. They must not let their heads drop if they concede an early goal, as Sundowns can capitalize and finish you off if given the chance.”
