Arthur Zwane calls for patience!

“If I have to give a rating out of 10, maybe we are still on four. We are not even halfway there because we still have a long way to go.” the Kaizer Chiefs coach told Sowetan.

“I think we are still far from where we want to be. As much as we are building in all aspects in terms of confidence.

“The way of play, the culture and all those things, because it’s not going to be something that will happen overnight.

“It’s going to take some time, but that’s why Kaizer Chiefs are going to have to go through stages.

“There are phases that you have to make sure you complete. This one first and be sure that everyone is on the same page before you move to the next one.

“Otherwise you won’t be able to involve everything at once because that will cause sort of a division. Players won’t even know whether they are coming or going.”

Kaizer Chiefs vs Maritzburg United: How to LIVE STREAM

Tonight’s clash at the FNB Stadium gets underway at 19:30.

The match will be televised live on SuperSport PSL and you can also live stream it on Multichoice’s streaming platform DStv now. A subscription is required.

Chiefs went down in their opening league match against Royal AM at the Chatsworth stadium over the weekend.

Maritzburg United on the other hand walked away with a point against a tricky Sekhukhune United side.

“Yes we’re still looking, you can see the way want to play. We don’t want a striker that will come and be like the players that we have.” Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane said previously.

“We need someone who is strong on the ball, someone who is a good header of the ball.

We need someone who can hold the ball for us to join in at high speed, then that will give us that different dimension.

“Right now we have more speedy players. If they can be a little but clinical like today it could have been a different story altogether,

Do you believe Kaizer Chiefs will survive with Ashley Du Preez as their lone striker this season or should the club go all out in finding another striker?
