And with the stadium becoming a fortress under Abdeslam Ouaddou, the Babina Noko coach says they can’t be heading into a tie feeling intimidated with a placee in the semi-finals on the line.
“Every team that you play against your approach is to be better than the other team. At the Arena there’s always going to be intimidation, but we prepare our players mentally to know what’s at stake,” he said.
“You know that if you win at the Arena, we’re in the next round, we know what we’re coming up against, we’re confident, there’s no coach who can approach a game with fear, you have to be confident in yourself and your approach.
“We believe in our players to win matches. We believe our approach on Saturday will take us through. We always have confidence and arrogance to say we are better and have the belief that we can win the match.”
The game eSgodini will kick-off at 15h00 this afternoon.
