Nedbank Cup: Mental strength key for Kaizer Chiefs against Royal Eagles – McCarthy

The retired Amakhosi defender is confident his former club will emerge as victors on Sunday afternoon

Retired Kaizer Chiefs defender Fabian McCarthy is confident coach Ernst Middendorp will not underestimate their next Nedbank Cup opponents in the form of Royal Eagles.

Although Amakhosi have struggled against the so-called minnows in the past few seasons, McCarthy has warned his former team to forget about who is in front of them but go all and just do the job and to keep the momentum going.

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) table-toppers failed to lift the Ke Yona trophy last season as they lost to TS Galaxy, but McCarthy says that’s all in the past as they face another side from the National First Division (NFD) on Sunday afternoon.
