Eric Tinkler urges SuperSport United to maintain their winning mentality heading into their Caf Confederation Cup second leg semi-final against Club Africain on Sunday.

After lifting the MTN8 trophy last week, Matsatsantsa remain high in confidence heading into their second leg semi-final clash against Club Africain in Tunis on Sunday.

Tinkler says he is highly motivated to win the African competition after losing out to Etoile du Sahel in the final during his spell at Orlando Pirates back in 2015.

“I have told my players that we need to become addicted to winning like it’s some drug. We have to want it all the time and we need to have that mentality,” Tinkler told the Caf website.

“We are bracing ourselves for a big fight, but I believe in my players’ abilities and they have shown that they can thrive when put under pressure.

“Such competitions are where you judge yourself against the best and we need to step up. This is a trophy that I want to win as a coach, and I almost did it with Pirates.”

SuperSport United will now travel to the Stade Olympique de Rades for their crucial Caf Confederation Cup semi-final second leg against Club Africain on Sunday, with kick-off at 20:00.
