On Friday evening, Kaizer Chiefs will travel to the Harry Gwala Stadium to face Maritzburg United in the Nedbank Cup Last 32 round in one of the all-topflight clashes. Meanwhile, Clarewood JPM FC from the Western Cape is hoping to be drawn against the Soweto giants at some stage, should they proceed in the competition. The Cape side will face Mpheni Home Defenders in their Last 32 match at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday.
Clarewood JPM FC’s newly appointed coach Dylan Deane has expressed his desire to play against Kaizer Chiefs in the tournament. Deane stated that playing against the Soweto giants would be a great experience for some of his players. He also spoke about the passion that playing against Chiefs would bring to him and his players.
“I think for me, I want Kaizer Chiefs, to be honest with you. I think also being a student of this game, I started watching football at a very young age, being a Kaizer Chiefs supporter myself all these times. I looked up to all those players and the coaches they had. Shane McGregor, Rudolf Seale, Ntsie Maphike, Samora Khulu, Teenage Dladla… and those players, (are the reason for the way) I look at football and the passion it brings to me and to my players. It creates a good feel in and around our club when I talk to them about the past and how we could play football and how football should be played, in my idea. So, yeah, I’d actually love to get Kaizer Chiefs to be honest with you,” Deane said.
