Komphela not buying Mosimane’s ‘underdog’ story
Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela is aware of the danger that comes with taking his opponents lightly because they carry the underdog tag.

Pitso Mosimane tipped Chiefs to be superior over his injury struck Mamelodi Sundowns team in a league match on Saturday night at the FNB Stadium.
Komphela says giving a team the underdog tag can be costly as such team are likely to hurt the favourites.
“There are no underdogs, never. If that is the message they want to sell, you will see what happens on Saturday evening. Any team whether it is from the ABC Motsepe league any team that plays Chiefs wants to carry the underdog tag, and they always hurt us, so we are not going to fall into that, I won’t move close to that territory.”
