Milford coach: We know Chiefs came to watch our game against Maritzburg'

Milford FC head coach Nhlanhla Hlongwa promised to take the game to Kaizer Chiefs in his side's Nedbank Cup clash against the Soweto giants on Sunday. 

The Motsepe Foundation Championship side visits a desperate Amakhosi side in the last 32 stage of the Nedbank Cup.

Hlongwa says although they will not be sitting back, they will still be wary of Chiefs attacker Ashley Du Preez's speed.

"I won't lie, playing Kaizer Chiefs still makes every opponent nervous, they are a big team," He tells KickOff.

"We are expecting a tough game for us, but our boys are ready, we've managed to cool their nerves. We've told our players that without the jersey and the brand Chiefs is no longer Chiefs, it's 11 against 11, just like us they are also human beings.

"Now you can see the boys are confident, they even wish Sunday was tomorrow. But Chiefs, we won't take them likely, they still bring that fear to you as an opponent. They are a big team by the way. We respect them a lot. 

 Question mark hanging over Chiefs' rock-solid defence 

"Fortunately we watch Kaizer Chiefs games almost every day, maybe they are the ones who should start the game by sitting back and studying us. We know they came to watch our league game against Maritzburg United, they were making their analysis. 

"But still, we are not going to sit back we will do what we have to do in the right moments. We know we are going to score goals. I won't lie this is not the right time to play against Kaizer Chiefs, it's been a long time since they won a trophy.

"Ashley Du Preez will be their strength with those runs behind the spaces and the last line of defence. They allow you to play high line so that your defence can leave
