Four days before the Telkom Knockout Cup final against Orlando Pirates, Bidvest Wits coach Roger de Sa insists they have no special plan to combat Benni McCarthy.<\/p>\n

The former Bafana Bafana striker has been in great form for the Buccaneers, and produced a scintillating performance in this past weekend\u2019s 3-0 defeat of log leaders SuperSport United.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

But De Sa is confident his troops can deal with McCarthy, and Pirates as a whole, especially with inspirational defender Mbulelo Mabizela back in action.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Mabizela] looks good; we will assess him again, but he had another session [yesterday afternoon] without feeling any pain, so it looks good,\u201d De Sa told KickOff.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI don\u2019t think we will do that [focus solely on Benni]. I think they have too many good players for us to worry about. We\u2019ve to worry about the whole team and a few others on the bench as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he [Benni] does add something extra to the team; no doubt about that. I saw that against SuperSport, so we are aware of that, but we are going to need a massive team effort; it can\u2019t be one player alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Sa also believes the pressure will be on Pirates to lift the trophy for their fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always pressure on bigger teams; no doubt about that. The bigger clubs have the bigger salaries \u2013 I think Benni\u2019s salary is probably half of that of my squad. No disrespect to him. I think he deserves it, but the pressure is on them; they are expected to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just have to go out there and have a good time and let the kids really express themselves.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
