KAIZER CHIEFS PLAYER DOLLY SENDS MESSAGE TO ORLANDO PIRATES
The Sea Robbers have won the past two derbies. It was a 1-0 win in November 2023 before the 2-1 win in the Nedbank Cup semi-finals in May last year.
As a Chiefs player, does Dolly fear Pirates? His answer was no.
“There’s no way I am going to stand here and tell you guys [the journalists] that I am afraid of Pirates,” Dolly said via TimesLIVE.
“I am not going to lie to look good on camera and say I am afraid of them, and their players should also be saying the same. It’s a derby, it’s a football match, so we should go out there and compete,” the Chiefs player added.
“Obviously, it’s not my happiest season. I haven’t been playing much, picking up small niggles here and there. I am coming back, trying to get to where I was when I joined the team. I want to start scoring goals and also getting those assists.
“Sometimes you put too much pressure on yourself, and you overdo it, so for me now it’s just to get into a good space, compose myself and just try to deliver on the field,” the Chiefs player concluded.
