Magesi FC head coach Clinton Larsen is adamant they will carry the same mentality they did against Orlando Pirates when they take on TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout Cup quarterfinal on Sunday.
Dikwena Tṧa Meetse eliminated Pirates in the first round and also denied Kaizer Chiefs maximum points in their midweek Betway Premiership tie.
Larsen admitted that he’s taking leaf from majority of his players being in this position before which makes it exciting for the club as well in their first topflight season.
The former Golden Arrows mentor also said there’s less pressure on them as rookies and they will use the underdog tag to their advantage and try to cause another upset in the cup.
“Exactly like it was against Pirates,” Larsen told the media ahead of the cup match.
“You know it’s our first experience in a cup competition it’s very exciting for the club, very exciting for 70% of our team that’s never played in a cup competition before so something for us to look forward to as a club.
“Once again, less pressure on us being the underdogs and that we should use to our advantage. But just pleased that our players keep surprising us, keep fighting and keep trying to execute what we worked on.
