Kaze confident ahead of Chiefs vs Simba

Kaze expressed confidence in his team’s ability to progress despite their current struggles in front of goals. Following their goalless league draw against Siwelele at FNB Stadium on Wednesday, the Kaizer Chiefs coach stated that he's sure they would qualify.

He admitted that scoring has become a major concern, but took solace in the team’s improved defensive stability.

“Every team has challenges,” he said. “We have to admit that right now our biggest challenge is scoring goals, but it’s not all lost because we are not leaking goals at the back.”

The Soweto giants' mentor added that the team’s performances are gradually improving and that their only shortfall remains converting chances into goals. He also confirmed that they will continue experimenting with new attacking combinations to find the right formula.
