Three draws in their last four league games for Chiefs, who still enjoy a six point lead at the top of the standings, is an indication they are feeling the pressure, Ertugral insisted.
“Now that the end is around the corner they have looked to be feeling the pressure. I know exactly how heavy that can be,” added the former Chiefs coach, who was parachuted in the last week to help Ajax stave off relegation.
“From the middle of the season, Chiefs have looked very good, they are a side that is very organised, very disciplined and has a high standard of transition.
“But I don’t believe they will go all out against us, I think they are wary of us,`’ he said of the match at the Cape Town Stadium, which will be screed on Super- Sport (5pm).
Ertugral says the challenge of playing Chiefs will turn his players “hopefully from boys to men. “They are all looking forward to a great atmosphere at the stadium.
We need to collect points as much as Chiefs do and I’m very sure we can do it. Every player is likely to give 10 to 15% more because they will all be motivated against Kaizer Chiefs. That will be sure.”
