Kaizer Chiefs' Inacio Miguel: The day I play with pressure is the day I stop playing football

Amakhosi have started their Betway Premiership season with maximum points with victories over Kruger United and Sekhukhune United.

Next up is a stern test of their credentials as they face a Mamelodi Sundowns side looking to the reclaim the title they lose to Orlando Pirates last season.

The Brazilians opened their league account by edging TS Galaxy 3-2 in their first Premiership clash.

As he looks ahead to the weekend's game, Miguel says it is a privilege to play for Amakhosi.

“People talk about the pressure of playing for Chiefs, there is no pressure. I always say to the young boys playing here that this is not pressure,” he said Miguel on IOL.

"Pressure is having to feed your family when you can't work. Pressure is having someone sick in hospital, and you can't do anything. I felt pressure when my grandma was in hospital in Portugal and I was in Angola, eight hours away.

"Playing for Chiefs in such a big game is not pressure, it is a privilege. And that privilege comes with responsibility.

"I will face Sundowns with responsibility. There is no bigger game to play against such a huge team. I play with privilege. The day I play with pressure I stop playing football."

"We have to respect the fact that Sundowns won the Champions League, but we are Chiefs and we must fight for our goals," he said.
