AmaZulu FC coach Arthur Zwane has weighed in on whether it helps to face familiar Kaizer Chiefs faces ahead of this weekend’s clash.
The two sides will face off on Saturday at Moses Mabhida Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 15:00.
Chiefs have already secured third place, qualifying for the CAF Confederation Cup with 51 points from 28 matches.
Meanwhile, Usuthu are looking to maintain their fourth position—the club’s primary objective from the start of the season. They have accumulated 44 points from their 28 matches so far.
Zwane will be facing a lot of players whom he developed and coached during his time in the Amakhosi first team. However, he insisted that this counts for nothing, noting that the players have grown and football constantly evolves.
“I might know the weaknesses and strengths because I watch football,” said Zwane.
“But that doesn’t mean I know them that much. Now, it’s late, football evolves. There’s a lot of dynamics. So, to be quite honest, that counts for nothing.
“What matters most is how we’re going to profile them individually and collectively as a team and prepare for that. Look at the weaknesses and strengths and try and keep them as a team.”
