POLOKWANE City captain Cole Alexander says they are comfortable with their overwhelming underdogs tag as they head into Sundays MTN8 quarter-final clash with Mamelodi Sundowns.
The teams clash at Lucas Moripe Stadium (3pm start) looking to progress to the semi-finals of the season-opening competition that now carries a massive R10 million winners cheque.
Speaking after the clubs training session at the rugby fields between the two Peter Mokaba Stadiums in Polokwane yesterday, Alexander said they are going to use that status as a motivating factor.
Ja, I think so (it is good to be underdogs) because and thats what our players need to know we shouldnt put unnecessary pressure on ourselves, he said.
Look, we have done well to achieve to play in this prestigious tournament.
