Kaze: Pressure is on Orlando Pirates
The Mercury
|May 09, 2025
KAIZER Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze says the team is comfortable with the underdog label ahead of tomorrow's Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates.
The Nedbank Cup final kicks off at 3.30pm tomorrow and will be played in front of a sold-out crowd at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
With Pirates currently on a five-game winning streak in the Soweto Derby, all the anticipation for the Sea Robbers to make it a sixth win in a row.
Kaze, however, has embraced his team not being given a chance.
"I'm very happy to come into this game as an underdog," Kaze told the media in Durban on Wednesday.
"And we know what are our chances, we played them not long ago. We feel it is a privilege to play them two times in such a short period, but a final is a final and I'm very happy that all the pressure from this final is on Orlando Pirates' shoulders."
