Aubrey Ngoma has thanked Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler for giving the club's attacking players freedom to express the best of their talents as they look ahead to the Telkom Knockout final against SuperSport United on Saturday.
City have been a potent attacking side this season and top the league table, giving them confidence ahead of their first cup final.
After scoring just six goals in their first nine games this season, the City attack has burst to life with another 22 in their next nine as the likes of Ngoma, Lebogang Manyama, Lehlohonolo Majoro and Sibusiso Masina shine.
Ngoma says the players have the freedom to play an attacking game, given the organisation that Tinkler has brought to the defence and the midfield.
"The coach has helped us play with no fear. He encouraged us to enjoy games and we work hard enough at training to be allowed to enjoy matches. Once we play with freedom and enjoyment, we get results."
Ngoma believes City will not freeze on the big stage as they do not feel the pressure to perform.
"We are not thinking of the run we are on. They [SuperSport] are also on a run [unbeaten in 14 matches], so it's going to be a very difficult one for us. We have studied them well, and we have good qualities in the team to get the victory."
