The ex-Platinum Stars mentor, Johnson wishes the gods of football to be with Chiefs and win one trophy.
“Personally, it would mean the world to end the club’s trophy drought,” says Chiefs’ Johnson on the trophy drought.
“I think it would also be huge for the club and its massive following.
“Hopefully, the gods of football are on my side, or not on my side but on the club’s side.
“So that we are able to display a lot of what we’ve been working on and score as many goals as we can.
“Because we are also struggling in that department.
“If I was here from the beginning, I’d have said ‘guys there are four trophies on offer, I want to win all of them’.
“This is the last one that’s on offer.
“So, let’s hope Sundowns lose five games in the league and we have a chance to win the league as well.”

“And it’s the start of the competition. So we are putting our emphasis on it.
“We know we will be the favourites on the day, therefore we need to prepare extra hard.”
The eagerly anticipated cup match will see Chiefs hosting the KZN-based side at FNB Stadium on Sunday evening.
