Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Larsen and his Magesi side look to inflict more misery on Kaizer Chiefs & Nabi - 'We’ll give ourselves a chance to win'

Clinton Larsen will welcome Kaizer Chiefs in their next game, with his Magesi FC side eager to improve their season.

The newly promoted team has only secured one win so far and currently sits in 12th place with five points, just one point behind Chiefs.

Despite their struggles, Magesi pulled off an impressive victory over Orlando Pirates in the Carling Cup and will aim to repeat that success against Chiefs.

Amakhosi are also in a slump, having suffered two consecutive league defeats, making this a crucial game for both teams.

Larsen believes that his team has what it takes to secure all three points and hopes they can rise to the challenge.

He emphasised the importance of discipline and focus, especially against a team desperate to turn its form around.

The Polokwane-based side will need to be at their best to capitalise on Chiefs' shaky momentum and climb the table.

"When you look at Chiefs’ performance against SuperSport United, they were ruthless," as reported by FarPost.

"They have quality players in every position, from Njabulo Blom, [Rushwin] Dortley, [Ranga] Chivaviro and Yusuf Maart.

It’s a team filled with so much quality.

"As Magesi, all we’re looking for is an honest performance from the team; it’s a disciplined performance to make sure that we make life uncomfortable for these superstars.

“The only way to do that is to work your socks off. We need to run more than they do and tackle more than they do. Arrive at their box more than they do ours. If we do those things consistently well, we’ll always have a chance to win football matches.”

“We’re not asking our players to do anything extraordinary. It’s about the simple things, like working hard, making tackles, and winning the ball back. If we can do those things consistently, we’ll give ourselves a chance to win.”

Securing a crucial victory over Chiefs and edge closer to his target of 30 points, which is essential for Magesi FC's survival in the top flight.

Beating Chiefs would not only boost their confidence but also give them valuable momentum in their relegation battle.

Larsen knows that every point matters and his focus remains on steady progress throughout the season.

Magesi has a challenging league encounter with Chiefs, where they aim to exploit Amakhosi’s current poor form.

After that, they will shift their attention to the Carling Cup quarterfinal against TS Galaxy, a knockout opportunity that could further inspire the squad.

Larsen’s focus is on maintaining discipline and consistency to navigate these high-stakes games successfully.

With hard work and determination, Magesi FC hopes to build on these fixtures to stay afloat in the league.
