Tsipa ready for Bosso

CAPS United veteran striker Leonard Tsipa says they will not be intimidated by the atmosphere at Barbourfields in ZNA Charity Shield final on Saturday.

Highlanders are the defending champions but Tsipa, who might be in the starting line-up, said it is a cup they want to win.

"We want to win the cup. It is a cup that all matters.

"We are looking forward to the match. We are not intimidated by the fact that they are the defending champions. It is a chance to show the world that we can do better and I believe as a team we are going to conquer.

"Playing at their home ground, I believe it is going to be a great match.

"So if we can win, it is morale booster," he said.

In the semi-finals, the 34-year-old striker scored a brace against rivals Dynamos. The 2016 Golden Boot winner said it is his duty as a striker to score.

"As a striker, it is my duty to score and I always want to score in every match but no matter who scores we want to win on Saturday.

"With team work and spirit, I hope we are going to do it."

Tsipa says the game is part of their preparation ahead of the season beginning next month.

"I believe the game is going to be of great use to us as we prepare for the season which starts first week of April.

"I think we are going to learn a lot and also improve in terms of how play our game.

"As a team we want to defend the championship but I know it is not going to be easy. It requires hard work and perseverance and as a team that is what we need to focus on," said Tsipa.
