ORBIT College assistant coach Kabelo Machete has cheekily made a claim that there will be tears flowing after their clash against Orlando Pirates in both sides’ final Betway Premiership game of the season.
In a high-stakes pressure game, a game of consequences, a game of high magnitude, Mswenko Boys will entertain the Buccaneers at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Both sides have something to fight for, Mswenko Boys will be fighting for their Premiership status as they would be relegated if they lose and Magesi FC win.
While Pirates need three points to clinch the league title and anything less than that would mean Mamelodi Sundowns are crowned champions for the ninth consecutive time.
Speaking at the Betway Premiership presser on Friday afternoon, Machete mentioned that they won’t go down without a fight, and tears will flow at Mbombela Stadium tomorrow.
“I think the premier first alluded, to say the stadium we’re going to is got a banana peel, the tears are gonna be flowing there, but we don’t know tears are gonna be from where,” Machete said.
“The mood is a very good mood for us as a team to be up against big teams we are playing tomorrow; to be the deciding. We hold the key whether [the league] it’s going to Mamelodi or whether it’s going to Orlando.
“The boys know that we are holding the keys, so if you want the keys, you know where to go – to the students, so, but we’re ready for tomorrow.
“For us, it’s games like these that you don’t need to motivate the players. Where else are you gonna play in a packed stadium? Where else are you gonna play in a sold-out stadium?
“It’s a story of David and Goliath in the Bible. We all know the story of David and Goliath. We brought the stone [like how David used it in his sling shot], everyone can see the stone, so which means we’re David in this, so we don’t need five stones, we only need one.
“So, mentally, this is the stone that we prepared [his players] with.
“Our opposition will be praying in the other dressing room, we will be praying.
“So, we will see if God is from Orlando or he’s from North West. It’s gonna very difficult for all of us.
“It’s pressure game. We accept the pressure and we’ll flourish under pressure.”
