SuperSport United are ready for their MultiChoice Diski Challenge semifinal match against rivals University of Pretoria at the Isaac Wolfson Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.
United cruised past Platinum Stars 2-0 in the quarterfinals at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi, Durban two weeks ago.
Coach Kaitano Tembo says he's happy with how things have gone as they were preparing at training.
“I think we’ve been preparing very well, we’ve got all the players available. The training has been very positive, all the players are also excited, they want to play in the semifinal.
“So it’s been very positive and we really look forward to the game,” he revealed to supersport.com.
Matsatsantsha won the group stage clash 1-0 against Tuks in October but Tembo says they won't dwell on past result.
“We won 1-0 but it was very tight, it wasn’t an easy game. And this is a different game as well in a bigger stage – the semifinal.”
“When we played it was a group stage, you know, if you lose a game you can still recover. But this is a once-off game, when you lose you out. So I think the mentality will be the same from Tuks as well,” he commented.
The coach expects Tuks to come with a different approach, especially after their impressive 5-2 win against Orlando Pirates in the quarterfinals.
“They will come with guns blazing. And from us as well we are not looking at the last game, that one is done, it’s finished. This is a new game, we have to treat it as such.”
The United's legend also called on the Port Elizabeth fans to come enjoy the spectacle on Sunday.
“The fans must come in numbers, because I think MultiChoice and the PSL came up with a great initiative to start the Diski Challenge. I believe it needs support from the fans and we will appreciate if they come in numbers to watch the two games on the day.
“I think that’s the most important thing, we need the fans to come and watch the game,” he concluded.
