Kaizer Chiefs’ new head coach, Molefi Ntseki, has had a rocky start to the new season; however, following his team’s recent unbeaten run, he is confident that they are headed in the right direction.
“Yes, we get disappointed when we don’t get maximum results. Whenever we prepare the team and whenever we go on the pitch, we are looking for a win. At times, you don’t get a win, not because you had a bad game, but because on the day you could not convert the chances that were created. It is our responsibility as coaches and also as players to go back to training and work on those situations where we managed to create chances but could not convert.”
Looking at the state of his squad, Ntseki is in high spirits, as many senior players are set to return from injury.
“We have Mdu Mdantsane, who was not in the team last week, back with the team this week. Last week, we saw (Edmilson) Dove on the team for the first time after a very long layoff. All the guys coming back from injuries are in a very good space. They are just working very hard to avail themselves for selection.
“I hope in the next few weeks we will have all the players available for selection. I must say that the medical team and the attitude of the players have been very good. With some injuries that were set to be longer in terms of recovery, you see them recovering as quickly as possible because of how the players conduct themselves and the good work the medical team is putting into those players.
Amakhosi are set to face SuperSport this evening, and Ntsekii remains hopeful for the match ahead. “We are facing a former coach of Kaizer Chiefs, obviously, so we are looking forward to a good game where we are prepared to give a good performance. Good performances, as I always say, will give you good results,” he said.
