Kaizer Chiefs cult hero warns ‘over-confident’ Williams: Chaine is waiting

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has warned Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Ronwen Williams about over-confidence as seen in the game against Eritrea.

The 34-year-old was sluggish on several occasions only that the Red Sea Camels failed to take the half-chances gifted to them in the Group D’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

South Africa ended up claiming a 5-0 win in the fixture that was played at at Al-Salam Stadium, Egypt. The result ensured the Pitso Mosimane-led team are on top of the pool with maximum points, while Guinea, who beat Benni McCarthy’s Harambee Stars 1-0, come in second. Kenya and Eritrea have a point each.

The former South Africa international has advised Williams against underrating seemingly easier opponents and how that can affect him.

Orlando Pirates’ Chaine is waiting

Yeah, it was a nervy start for Ronwen; even in the second half, I was a bit worried. I think sometimes he’s over confident, and that’s when he makes mistakes,” Khune opened up on SABC.

“So I think he needs to eliminate that because maybe he was taking the opposition for granted because at the end of the day, if you concede like that, I mean, there’s Sipho Chaine there waiting.

“Look at the other error, he wasn’t switched on. Instead of tipping the ball over, he gave them half a chance,” the 39-year-old added.

On Sunday, Bafana Bafana will play the Pharaohs of Egypt in an International Friendly that will be played at the Cairo International Stadium. Sipho Chaine might get his chance alongside Ricardo Goss.
