Reaching the CAF Champions League semi-finals is no fluke for Kaizer Chiefs, according to Amakhosi assistant coach Arthur Zwane.
Amakhosi are on the verge of a maiden Champions League final appearance after registering a 1-0 win over Moroccan outfit Wydad Casablanca in the first-leg semi-final in Casablanca last weekend.
Ahead of the game, Zwane praised the character shown by the players throughout the competition.”
"This tournament has tested our boys’ character from the beginning. Even at some point we had doubts because the results were not forthcoming, but participating and going as far as the semi-finals tells you that we are a good team. Everyone might see differently and say maybe we are fortunate to find ourselves we are in. It might be a fluke to others, but the fact is the boys gave everything," he told the media.
"If you have been to Tanzania to play Simba, with a lot of other things happening behind the scenes that tested these boys. They showed character and never gave up. They went in there and gave their all. We may have lost the game, but for the fact that we had four goals (from the first leg), that alone was enough for us to go through. Here we are now again and we are playing against one of the best teams on the continent. I believe we will give our best and make sure we get the desired results and go to the final.”
