| Doctor Khumalo |
The four consecutive losses of Kaizer
Chiefs before winning 2-0 against Mamelodi Sundowns have raised eyebrows on
what is happening at Naturena. The assistant caretaker Doctor Khumalo has dismissed
all the speculations that there are cracks in the Amakhosi family. Speaking
just after the match 16v said the victory over Mamelodi Sundowns has proven
most people wrong and this is the beginning of great things.
Since the departure of the Serbian coach Vladimir
Vermezovic it has been hard for Amakhosi to collect maximum points. Their loss
against Super Sport United left the fans frustrated and angry at the Chiefs’
management. They were shouting and
throwing bottles on the heads of players as they were passing on the tunnel
after they were defeated 2-1 by Super Sport United. The fans also shouted for
Bobby Motaung as they wanted to talk to him but he never responded to the call.
It was not for the first time for Amakhosi
fans to blame Motaung for Chiefs failures. They even asked Kaizer Motaung to
remove him from being the team manager and all these fingers have been pointing
on him. The former coach Vladimir was
also described as a mentor who had run out of ideas to take the team to greater
heights. Then the question we should ask
is what is wrong at Naturena?
It was said that the former coach left divisions
between senior players and the younger players. He was sacked but still the
results were poor, so what? After the loss against Maritzburg united Doctor
Khumalo was quoted saying his players are not well mentally, indeed maybe he’s
a “Doctor” by profession to decide such. He also pointed transition as the main
reason for their defeats, while at the same time a number of reasons have been
identified for poor results at Naturena.
Earlier in the season Kaizer Chiefs boss (Kaizer Motaung: Pictured Left) made it clear that he want the league trophy at Naturena but those dreams have
been shattered before the end of the season. He has drastically failed to help
his technical team to carry his mandate. Even before the window period could be
opened it there was plausible evidence that Amakhosi squad needs to be
strengthened. The fans were angry at Bobby Motaung for not using the
opportunity and of course they have every right to be as they spend their cash
to go and support the ever poor performing team.

| Itumeleng Khune |
Few weeks back Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper
Itumeleng Khume was quoted in the media
saying foreign coaches confuse South African players with their method of
coaching. He said their type of football has no flair and results which attract
multitude of fans to the stadiums. If you look back on the history of this team
you will find that they have achieved most of their trophies with foreign
coaches. Perhaps Doctor was right when he said his players are not fit mentally
because this is just an awful justification.
Ace Khuse the caretaker coach has been
singing about the lack of luck and going back to the drawing board. Perhaps
with drawing board part it is working because they have managed to snatch their
first win since they took over. About fortune it’s a controversial one. Is
soccer about luck or about quality players who will always rise beyond
expectations?
It’s a that fact Kaizer Chiefs need go all
out and get quality players who will add value in the team and maintain the
rich history of this team. Since Musona departure Amakhosi haven’t won
anything. They have good players but it’s
not enough. Window shopping on players will not help out.
Khumalo emphasized on the point that all is
well at Naturena it was just the transition period. Now they will go all-out
for positive results and bring back smiles on the face of the fans of the
Phefeni Glamour boys. All eyes are on them. They have to make it happen no
matter what. As for Bobby Motaung he must pray for more wisdom on running the
team despite of how he got the position.
