Ajax Cape Town captain Brett Evans says it's an interesting week in the ABSA Premiership, but he's keeping one eye firmly on the Telkom Knockout this coming weekend. Ajax face Wits at Athlone Stadium tomorrow night and play Free State stars in the Telkom semi-finals in East London on Sunday.Ajax are currently fourth in the league and Evans says a lot can change this week.
"It's going top be a very interesting couple of games...obviously all the teams in the top five or six are playing against each oth! er tomorrow night. If we can continue with our run and get a good result tomorrow night, obviously leading up to the cup will be great for us."
Evans says with just three points separating Ajax from log leaders Golden Arrows, they're in a good position.
"I think our main goal and focus will be to stay in the top two or three. Even if we can get the top position by December, we know we can get a good run after that."
"We don't want to get left behind. Obviously it's a very tough ask, coming into next year, with ten or fifteen games to go, to make those points."
Meanwhile, Evans believes the door is still wide open for him to make Joel Santana's Confederations Cup team. The Ajax left back has dropped down the pecking order recently, behind Tsepo Masilela and Bradley Carnell, but he says hopefully the coach will recognise his attacking ability.
"Obviously the coach's mind is not made up. It will be up until the last few we! ek's before the Confederations Cup, when he decides on his fin! al squad . You know I try and push forward as much as possible, and banging in one or two goals has always helped my cause."
