Zwane not concerned by Chiefs’ slow start

Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane said he is not overly concerned by their ‘up and down’ start to the DStv Premiership season.


AmaKhosi have lost two of their opening three fixtures, losing 1-0 to Royal AM and then beating Maritzburg United 3-0, before being hammered 4-0 last time out against Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Stadium.

Zwane said in an interview, on the Chiefs’ official website, that he was confident things would slowly but surely get better Chiefs and turn things around.

“We had a good session with the guys in the morning. We reflected and took some lessons from Saturday’s game,” Zwane told AmaKhosi’s website.

The Soweto Giant will next be in action when hosting Richards Bay FC (20h00) at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, and Zwane said they will be focusing on collecting all the points on offer.

“Our focus and energy is now fully on the upcoming game as we need to collect points. We know it won’t be easy, but we will prepare adequately for Richards Bay,” said Zwane.

“We will get it right. I won’t panic. We need to work and do introspection and also look at ourselves, where we can improve individually and collectively as a team, and we’ll get it right, do corrections.

“We will take the positives and negatives. We will take those negatives and move on because we don’t want to find ourselves in the same situation and be beaten 4-0 again.

“So, we would love to do that to other teams, and it’s going to happen; I have that belief, it happens for a reason. With us, it’s a work in progress. We’ll get there; it might take some time, but we’ll definitely compete at some point.”
