The Soweto-born applauded the current Chiefs team which is full of youngsters and ended a 10-year trophy drought in May by winning the Nedbank Cup.
By winning Nedbank, they qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup, which started already, unfortunately, Amakhosi hasn’t started well, losing one game and drawing one.
Seale believes Amakhosi can surprise many by winning the continental tournament.
“You are right, it is a pretty young team. The game has changed so much that the teams are now dominated by junior players,” Seale told iDiski Times.
“Now, it is the younger ones who take over. Back in our time, at 27 you were seen as young; now the 27-year-olds are the seniors and more experienced players. They might be young and inexperienced in continental football but underestimate them at your own peril.
“We’ve seen how they won their first trophy in 10 years by beating a very hot [Orlando] Pirates, and I believe they have it in them to pull off a surprise on the continent as well.
“Of course, winning it would be a big bonus, but I think they can go a long way in this competition.”
