Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter said his side will get over the hangover of defeat by Orlando Pirates this past weekend when they face Moroka Swallows in an Absa Premiership fixture on Tuesday night.

“It is a bitter pill to swallow losing to arch-rivals (Pirates). This is football though and we need to focus on the next challenge which is Moroka Swallows, one of our big rivals.

“We had some tough encounters against them last season and I expect things to be the same on Tuesday night. They are a quality side and will obviously want to make things difficult for us,” Baxter told PSL.co.za.

According to Baxter, motivating the players for this tough Absa Premiership encounter will be an easy task.

“Picking up the players for the Swallows match after the disappointing result against Pirates? That is the easy part; it is a very easy part for us not only because of the magnitude of the occasion but also because the players will be smarting over the defeat and they will want to come back strong.

“The difficult part though is that we will be playing a team that also wants to perform and win the match,” the former Bafana coach warned. – PSL
