Brutal! Kaizer Chiefs new signing torn: ‘There’s a kid who is much better… he plays worse!’

Published on by

Kaizer Chiefs were eliminated from the MTN8 by Golden Arrows who claimed a narrow win at the FNB Stadium on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Brandon Petersen was at fault for the 1-0 loss, as Khulekani Shezi picked up the ball on the right wing, made a run into the box before bringing in a speculative low cross that somehow nestled into the back of the net.

However, according to former Amakhosi winger Junior Khanye, one of the signings had a worse game on his debut. He argues there is nothing special about Adolf Mtasingwa, who was signed from the Tanzanian Premier League outfit Azam FC.

According to him, the 27-year-old will provide another burden for Lebohang Maboe who had to play two roles at once.

Mtasingwa added numbers at Chiefs

“There’s a kid we can get in Daveyton or Soweto or Spruit who is much better than this guy,” he said as quoted by iDiski Times.

“If you can’t attack the space with the ball as an international player there’s a problem. If you can’t even turn as an international player, there’s nothing special. There’s nothing special about this guy, instead he plays safe and worse he doesn’t want to take responsibility.

“[Lebohang] Maboe is going to get tired or get injured. Maboe is a defensive midfielder and also a box-to-box player and he’s doing both duties while Mtasingwa is there.

“This guy just added a number on the team sheet. He reminds me of [Akumu] Agay. [Thabo] Cele was even better because he fetches the ball, passes it and calls for it too,” he concluded.
