Soweto Derby: Kaizer Chiefs’ Middendorp labels Orlando Pirates PSL title talk as 'nonsense'

Ahead of the Soweto Derby this weekend, Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has rubbished reports that Orlando Pirates are not having interests as far as the Premier Soccer League (PSL) title is concerned.

The Amakhosi boss has explained their ambition is to lift the coveted title and dethrone reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns if they have an opportunity, unlike their fierce rivals, Bucs who prefer to remain modest.

Chiefs currently lead the league table with 45 points from 20 matches whilst the Buccaneers sit third with 39 after 21 matches, yet coach Josef Zinnbauer’s side has continued to deny their PSL title ambitions.
