Kaze makes honest admission after Chiefs' win

Speaking to SuperSport TV, Kaizer Chiefs' coach reflected on the team’s performance, admitting that the match against Simba had taken a toll on the players both mentally and physically.

He acknowledged that the side was not at its best but stressed the importance of grinding out results, even when performances are below par.

The coach pointed out that in previous games, despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, they failed to win, highlighting that matches like this one, where they were less dominant, still required the determination to secure three points.

On Da Silva, the coach explained that they were well aware of his strengths as a natural box striker who is always alert for rebounds and crosses.

He noted that Da Silva had been recovering from an injury, which had limited his playing time previously, but reaffirmed that the technical team has great trust in him and believes he can contribute significantly to the team.

Here is what fans are saying about Kaze's reaction to Kaizer Chiefs' win over Durban City.

fistoz23 said:

"They made some questionable decisions. Lilepo wasn’t training with the team and was even doubtful, it was showing. To keep him for so long was a mistake. Vilakazi was subbed too early, he could have supplied Ighodaro, supply dried up completely for him in the 2nd half."

"There are positives. We've only conceded 5 goals, we have lost once, but we still complain. Can we just support the team?"

Samuel_Samedo Masango shared:

"Problem you have seen how these small teams play against you but you still not learning to deal with low block."

Thandazani Clive commented:

"These guys must know that @KaizerChiefsvis the biggest club in the country. There's no room for mistakes, yabo, because everywhere they go, the ground is always packed."

Nkwali_uBongani added:

"Coach Kaze was sober with what he said here. The league is a marathon; therefore, you won't always win with your best performances, hence it's imperative to just grab the maximum points and move on to the next one."
