Well-again Da Cruz expects tough test for Chiefs in Zambia
'It (Arrows) Is a strong team with strong players, they play on offensive transitions and with long balls,' said the Chiefs head coach.
Kaizer Chiefs' head coach Fernando Da Cruz anticipates a challenging match against Red Arrows in their Caf Confederation Cup debut. The two-legged qualifier will determine the team's advancement to the group stages. Da Cruz, who recently returned from illness, expressed uncertainty about the playing conditions in Zambia, noting that Arrows are a strong team with skilled players who favor offensive strategies and long balls.
He also admitted to a midfield crisis, with several players unavailable due to injury or illness, including Reeve Frosler, who started against Stellenbosch in a recent Betway Premiership draw. Describing himself as feeling "very well" after a bout of vomiting following a previous match, Da Cruz emphasized the importance of securing a positive result in Zambia before heading back to South Africa for the return leg.
