Kaizer Chiefs’ trio challenged to ‘announce themselves’ against Sundowns

Kaizer Chiefs will host Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League fixture to be staged at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.

The Glamour Boys haven’t beaten Masandawana in the last 10 South African top-tier games, drawing three and losing seven. It explains why coach Fernando Da Cruz and his players are determined to beat their opponents this weekend.

Amakhosi have started the league well and are currently on top of the table with the maximum points from the two games played. Sundowns have three points from their 3-2 victory over TS Galaxy.

Former Glamour Boys midfielder Frank Makua has challenged Luke Baartman, Langelihle Phili, and Mfundo Vilakazi to show their worth against the Brazilians. He has further explained why Amakhosi have a chance of getting maximum points this weekend.

Football is all about speed

“It’s 2-1 to Kaizer Chiefs. The way things are at the moment, I believe they will rise to the occasion tomorrow. These small boys do understand the culture of the team, hence I believe they will rise to the occasion. They are doing all the basics, movement off the ball, and they are using speed. Football is all about speed,” he told KickOff.

“That’s what was lacking in the previous Chiefs teams. Obviously the stage is gonna be big, but because they understand the culture of the team, they will perform.

“There is no bigger stage they will get again if they fail to make use of this one. This is a game [Luke] Baartman, [Langelihle] Phili, [Mfundo] Vilakazi and others should use to announce themselves,” Makua concluded.
