Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Arthur Zwane said their CAF Champions league final against African great Al Ahly on June 17 will be a David and Goliath affair.
The 47-year-old was speaking to SAFM as he discussed their preparations ahead of this important clash as it is the first ever of Kaizer Chiefs.
He formerly admitted that the underdog tag going into the game does not diminish their belief as they will give everything to win the trophy.

“It is going to be a David and Goliath affair where we will go there as underdogs as has been happening,” said Zwane on SAFM, as per Goal.
“But we have no fear, we have come this far because we simply have been putting in some effort. We deserve to be in the final.
“People might beg to differ but we are in the final because we had to dig deeper. It was not pleasing in the eye for us not to play how people wanted to see.
“But the fact was when you get the opportunity to grind a result, just do so. We are happy we will be playing against coach Pitso because he is one of the best on the continent.”
Furthermore, Arthur Zwane bemoaned the fact that they are lacking an opponent to play a practice game as the season ended in South Africa with clubs just gathering their players for pre-season camp.
Meantime, their opponents Al Ahly will be playing four competitive games.
“It is difficult for us to play a friendly match right now because there is no one available except for maybe teams that have been playing in the playoffs,” continued Zwane.
“So it is difficult for us to get anyone available. Teams are starting pre-season, some will start training around Monday and there is no way they can be ready to play games. Unfortunately on that one, there is no one available to play practice matches against us.
“Some teams are unavailable because of the challenges we find ourselves in as a country. But we will find a way, we have been in the game for many years. So we will try and push our boys though we know playing games and training are totally different.
“But we will find a way because this opportunity only comes once and it is an opportunity we would want to grab with both hands. We don’t have a choice so we have to find a way to make sure that our boys are ready for the final.”
