Kaizer Chiefs defender Reeve Frosler believes they have nothing to fear when they come up against Mamelodi Sundowns in a Betway Premeirship fixture at at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgevile on Saturday.
The Brazilians, who are the defending champions, will head into the fixture as favourites since they are currently topping the 16-team league table and have been impressive in the past weeks unlike their rivals, who have been blowing hot and cold this season.
Despite Sundowns' good form, the 27-year-old Frosler, who has so far this season featured 13 times for Chiefs, Amakhosi have nothing to worry or fear heading into the fixture because they are a big team just like Sundowns.
“Sundowns are a big team and they've been doing well but we are also a big team, so we'll approach the game with a very good mentality that will show that we're also a big team with courage,'' Frosler said as quoted by Sowetan.
“Playing Sundowns is always going to be difficult but we will go there and do our best. Playing Sundowns is always a big occasion for everyone. For us, we've got a big following, a big support base, so we want to make them happy by putting in a good performance, knowing that will increase our chances of winning the game.”
He continued: “It's never easy losing any game ... be it 1-0, be it 2-0, be it 4-1, it's never easy but we accepted that we lost that game [against SuperSport]. Now the important thing is to never look back but focus on our next game against Sundowns.”
On Chiefs game plan, Frosler said they will not focus on individuals but will give their all: “We respect the fact that they have good individuals but our focus will be on the team as a whole.
“We can't really plan around one player [Ribeiro]. We also have some good players in our team and I'd like to believe that they won't be focusing on those individuals but they'll plan for Kaizer Chiefs as a unit.”
The Brazilians, who won the first round meeting 2-1 at FNB Stadium, will head into the battle sitting top of the 16-team league table with 51 points from 19 matches while Amakhosi are lying eighth with 25 points from 18 outings.
