Faiz Abrahams outlines plan to shine at Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs new signing Faiz Abrahams has made his ambitions for the Glamour Boys clear after making his debut for the club.

Abrahams came on in the second half of Chiefs’ 2-2 draw with Richards Bay on Wednesday, marking his first appearance since joining the Soweto giants on loan from Stellenbosch FC early this month.

The winger got a run out as Chiefs rallied from 2-1 to draw 2-2 and he is encouraged by his first start as he looks for more opportunities going forward.

“It was my first time travelling with Kaizer Chiefs,” Abrahams told the club’s website. “It felt good to be included and I appreciate the coach’s belief in me. I have worked hard since I arrived and I am grateful for the support I have received and honoured to be playing for this great club.”

Abrahams reveals what Da Cruz told him

Having been deployed as an inverted right winger, Abrahams revealed the tactical instructions from coach Fernando da Cruz when he introduced him.

“The coach told me to go out there and create chances for us to get back into the game,” he added. “I think I made a few opportunities that we might have scored from, so I am quite happy with how I did.”

“We played well enough to win the game but we had a couple of misfortunes which we will definitely work on cutting out going forward,” noted Abrahams.

Lofty ambitions for Kaizer Chiefs new man

“The conditions made things a bit difficult. It was windy as well which made controlling the slippery ball difficult but overall, I think the guys coped well in the circumstances,” said the 21-year-old, referring to the wet conditions owing to heavy rains at the Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu.

Having got his first taste of the action in the gold and black of Chiefs, Abrahams has big ambitions for the Soweto giants.

“I’m just going to keep working as hard as I can in order to maintain a high standard week in, week out. Consistency is the most important thing. You have to be at your best every time you set foot on the field,” he further stated.

Chiefs will face Siwelele FC in their next match on September 5 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban when Abrahams will be hoping for more minutes to showcase his skills.
