Telkom Knockout Cup: Kaizer Chiefs will mislead you with Castro and Nurkovic - Orlando Pirates’ Mokwena

The Buccaneers manager has shared his assessment on how Amakhosi could look to unsettle his men on Saturday afternoon

Ahead of the Telkom Knockout Cup quarter-final clash against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday afternoon, Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena explains that the Soweto giants have been transformed since the arrival of Samir Nurkovic.

Although Mokwena believes the Serbian has brought a different dimension at Naturena, he insists they cannot be fooled that coach Ernst Middendorp will play long balls in search of Nurkovic and Leonardo Castro.

Moreover, the 34-year-old manager has hailed his striker Tshegofatso Mabasa’s upbringing, saying he is a grounded individual.
