Kaze adamant Chiefs will bounce back from ‘bad moment’ and asks for support

Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze insists the bad run experienced by the club will soon come to an end.

The Glamour Boys have suffered five losses in the last six matches across all competitions, which have seen them crash out of major competitions. On Tuesday night, the Soweto giants were beaten for a third time in a row in the Premier Soccer League after Richards Bay put one through them at the uMhlathuze Sports Complex.

Amakhosi’s loss came after another 3-0 defeat, their worst fall in Soweto derby for the last 25 years, at the hands of traditional rivals Orlando Pirates.

The losses have put them fifth on the table with 30 points, as Mamelodi Sundowns and the Buccaneers continue chasing the title. The duo has 41 points from the 18 games they have played.

Kaze justifies the loss

Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has explained the recent loss, but remained adamant his team will bounce back.

“Of course, it’s true that we had a possession in the first half, but I would say it was a sterile possession without breaking lines,” Kaze said in his post-match interview.

“Without threatening the opponent box. I think probably we had too much players that are fit ballers and not enough runners behind the defensive line. We tried to correct that in the second half with the introduction of [Glody] Lilepo and someone like [Mduduzi] Shabalala and [Luke] Baartman as well.

“But unfortunately, we concede a goal.

“I believe that it’s gonna pass. The moment is gonna pass. “It’s a very bad moment but we need to keep together. We need to stay together and work very hard,” the Burundian concluded.
