Maseru - Lesotho's senior soccer squad head coach Mr. Moses Maliehe says he is not worried by the comments made by eSwatini (Swaziland), who are Likuena’s first opponents at the 2018 regional Council of Southern Africa Football Association (COSAFA) Cup.

One of Swaziland's oldest players Wonder Nhleko, 37, has been reported by the South African media as having said the players will be going all out to claim the COSAFA 2018 championship currently ongoing in Limpopo, South Africa after winning the bronze medal last year.

When approached for comment, Mr. Maliehe said he has not bothered with his opponents comments, saying they will respond to the comments on the field of play on Saturday. Likuena will face off with Isihlanu Semnikati in the quarterfinals of the COSAFA Cup to be played at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Likuena head coach said any team going to the COSAFA Cup could say a lot of things including Nhleko’s comment that “they want to win the tournament”. “We are well prepared for them and we know what to expect from Sihlangu as they have good individual players, especially up front. But at the back, they are weak and that is where we will exploit them,” he highlighted.
