Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has urged his players to avoid listening to the outside noise and to "focus on the game" ahead of the Soweto derby on Saturday.

This will be Zwane's first Soweto derby as coach, and with it being a sold-out crowd for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic, he is hoping the occasion won't get to his players."When these two giants meet, it' s a totally different ball game altogether," Zwane told reporters on Thursday.  "I'll advise our boys to just focus on the game.

It's one of the biggest games, but you need to relax, don't listen to what is happening out there. "Yes, people will always have something to say, that is the nature of football in our country.

There are those who say a lot of positive things but also those who show a little bit of doubts in you. "But it's how you rise to the occasion on the day of the game.
