Chiefs attacker Bernard Parker has revealed that they have turned to the mental side of things as they prepare for their penultimate outing against relegation-threatened Chippa United at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday.“In terms of us recouping‚ rejuvenating and tuning the mind into a positive approach to the next match‚ our preparations have been going well.

Parker said their inconsistencies have piled pressure on them and their lives depend on the remaining matches against Chippa and Baroka FC this week. "That’s the goal for our 50 year celebration. As players we have been connecting among ourselves in terms of how we are going to approach these two matches‚ which is war and our lives depend on it.
