Frosler reveals Kaizer Chiefs’ biggest headache after sealing CAF slot

Kaizer Chiefs defender Reeve Frosler has acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining motivation for their remaining PSL fixtures but insists the team is determined to end the season on a high note, starting with their upcoming clash against AmaZulu.

Having already secured a top-three finish and qualification for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup, Amakhosi have met their primary objective. However, Frosler stressed that professionalism will drive the squad in their final matches.

“It’s going to be difficult to stay motivated,” Frosler admitted as quoted by Soccer Laduma. “I mean, our aim was to get into the top one, two, and three. We managed to successfully do that now, so it is a little bit more challenging. But I think, us staying professional, we’ve got to go out there and still do the job. The more games we win, the better position for the club, and the better we can start our next phase of things.”

What is motivating Kaizer Chiefs?

The right-back highlighted a significant target for the team: matching the club’s 57-point tally from the 2019/20 season, when they narrowly missed out on the league title. Winning their last two games would achieve this milestone and serve as a strong foundation for the next campaign.

“It’s a good building block for us,” he explained. “We haven’t reached that amount of points in the last five or six years. So, if we could win these next two games, take us to 57, then we’re on par with what almost got us the league the last time. We now know what’s at stake for next season. If we can get a few points more, we can hopefully be even better, higher up on the log.”

Frosler explains approach for next games

Frosler also commented on the positive atmosphere within the squad, emphasizing that the players are enjoying their work while remaining focused on their preparations for AmaZulu, who are still battling for their own league position.

“The guys are still having fun at work, which is important,” he said. “We’re having fun and still working towards our next game. The energy has been good, and we’re looking to just continue this energy and go forward to the next game. We just have to continue doing what we need to do, how we’ve practised, and how we’ve prepared the whole week.”

He concluded by acknowledging that AmaZulu will present a “massive challenge” as they fight for a higher finish on the log.
