Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane says he couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the season than playing in the Nedbank Cup Final as he seeks to add yet another new medal to his trophy cabinet after winning the League title last week.

Letsholonyane now wants to break new ground again by bringing home the country’s premier knockout tournament and says he couldn’t have asked for a bigger stage than what Moses Mabhida will provide on Saturday afternoon.

“No player here at Chiefs could have asked for more. This is the biggest game on the day in the country which makes it different and special in many ways. If you don’t win on the day then you will not get the gold medal so it is a massive game,” says Letsholonyane.

Since his arrival at Chiefs five years ago ‘Yeye’ has won every other trophy on offer in domestic football except for the Nebank Cup which has proven rather way too problematic for AmaKhosi to win since Nedbank took over the sponsorship of the country’s biggest knockout competition.

“We have the League in the bag and now we are going for the second trophy because we really want that double, plus this is a trophy that most of us have never won. So there will be no better ending to the season than winning the Nedbank Cup.

“I really need that winners’ medal and we want to make sure our fans also stand up with pride as the go into the off-season by also winning the Nedbank for them. As a player playing in a Cup Final is what you strive for and winning games is what we actually live for so this is yet another game that we are aiming to win. The bonus is that with this particular game there is a trophy for the winner,” he says.

The Bafana Bafana midfielder adds that he has respect for the opponents on the day – SuperSport United – but believes the atmosphere will give them the edge in making it a memorable Cup Final.

“They (SuperSport) are obviously a difficult team to play because they are good which should make for a balanced game.

“However, the atmosphere will give us the advantage because I have already been told that the stadium is sold out. We really want this trophy,” adds Yeye, who will go on to celebrate his 31st birthday two weeks after the Final.
