Talented Chiefs blatantly told why winning PSL title might not be fulfilled!

Published on by

Kaizer Chiefs have been warned against relying on talent only in their bid to win the Premier Soccer League and other competitions.

The Glamour Boys have been doing relatively well in the South African top-flight football where they are currently four points behind leaders Orlando Pirates who have 28 points.

Amakhosi are also in the CAF Confederation Cup group stage where they hope to take the first two positions and make the knockout phase of the annual competition. The Soweto giants will also be hoping to successfully defend their Nedbank Cup crown.

However, according to Chiefs legend Rudolph Seale, the club might end the season without winning silverware.

Chiefs have advantage of talent, but…

“I look at this team, and everyone is good, but it does not mean they are conquerors. Their talent should be secondary to hard work,” he told iDiski Times in a recent interview.

“I played with Doctor [Khumalo] and Shoes [the late John Moshoeu] – highly talented players – but they worked hard. What I see lacking in these current boys is that they seem to forget they are playing for Chiefs.

“They have the advantage of talent, but they have no character – they are inconsistent. As a player, you must self-analyse.

“When you’ve drawn the previous match, look at it to see where you can improve so you win the next one. When we lost, people were so hard on us.

“Of course, I could wear a beanie and sunglasses to go to the shebeen and still have fun after a defeat, but it never came to my mind. I stayed at home and mourned the defeat personally because it was not just Chiefs which had lost, I had lost too. I took the result personally,” Seale concluded.
