Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp insists his side will go into their Caf Confederation Cup clash against Elgeco Plus with an attacking mindset.
The Glamour Boys confirmed that star Khama Billiat is doubtful for their upcoming clash after sustaining a minor injury during their 3-0 win over Elgeco in their home leg of the continental competition.
With Billiat’s injury in mind, Middendorp admits that he has the likes of Lebogang Manyana and Leonardo Castro to take his place as they look to qualify for the Champions League group stages.
‘I was not frustrated with the scoreline, that is not the right word. But probably a little annoyed that we did not use the opportunities we got during the match. I am, however, quite confortable with this result as I have said before,’ Middendorp told the media.
‘We will not go there and be defensive, no that is not how we play. We will not go there and use one striker. We have Khama (if fit to travel), we have Leonardo Castro and Lebogang Manyama as players with a natural movement forward. Our target is to go there and score, not defend.’
Kaizer Chiefs against Elgeco Plus kicks off at 1:30pm.
