Telkom Knockout Cup: Maritzburg United’s Tinkler wary 'different' Kaizer Chiefs

The Team of Choice manager believes the 2010 Fifa World Cup venue will suit their brand of football

Ahead of their eagerly anticipated Telkom knockout Cup semi-final clash against Kaizer Chiefs, Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler is not reading too much in the absence of players such as Erick Mathoho and Itumeleng Khune.

Despite expecting an entertaining encounter at Mbombela Stadium, the former Bafana Bafana midfielder is banking on their seven-match winning run as they look to secure a spot in the final.

On the other hand, Tinkler believes Amakhosi are different from a team they faced last season, saying new players such as Samir Nurkovic have brought a new dimension at Naturena.
