“I did not expect, now that we’ve reshuffled and have quite a few new inclusions, that we would learn so fast and click so fast,” said Parker to the Kaizer Chiefs media team.

“It’s good that we are getting to gel this fast. With the Kaizer Chiefs that gave the champions a problem, I believe we can grow further and be tough to beat,” said Parker.

In addition, the 35-year-old believes the Chiefs will soon revert to their former selves, particularly in terms of playing style and winning culture, according to The South African.

“There are a lot of signs that Amakhosi will be back soon in terms of the style of play and in terms of winning ways," he said. “It’s now up to us as players to keep our attitude and our game temperament levels up every time come match day."

Stuart Baxter only wants to focus on positives after Mamelodi Sundowns loss

Briefly News previously reported that Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter wants to remain positive about his club even after they suffered a loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 quarter-final.

It was a match that was highly anticipated because of Kaizer Chiefs' rebuilding process. Mamelodi Sundowns dominated the beginning of the game and scored two goals in the first half. In the second half, Chiefs came alive and responded with two of their own.

New signing Keagan Dolly provided an assist that got all the fans excited. In the end, Sundowns won the game on penalties but Baxter didn't want the focus to be on the fact that Amakhosi lost.
