Why it isn't easy to face Nabi's Kaizer Chiefs- Mngqithi

According to iDiskiTimes, Mngqithi has made a substantial admission about facing Nabi-led Chiefs despite both teams starting the season on a good note.

The Mamelodi Sundowns coach has listed some reasons it would be difficult to play against Amakhosi ahead of the clash on Saturday afternoon.

"It's a team that's looking rejuvenated – and that makes them a very difficult team to play against; they are very dangerous, on transition with the front three, it makes it a game that requires a lot of focus, humility and a certain amount of respect I must say," the Masandwana head coach said ahead of the game.

The match between both Premier Soccer League giants is the biggest game in the South African top-flight league this weekend, and Mngqithi claimed they are ready to face the home side in a game of football and not for war.
