Bafana Bafana legend Lucas Radebe has expressed deep concern at the events unfolding at Kaizer Chiefs.
Radebe isn’t convinced by Kaizer Chiefs
According to The Citizen, Bafana icon Lucas Radebe is concerned by the state of affairs at Amakhosi. Chiefs twice led the recent Soweto Derby against Orlando Pirates, only to go down 3-2 against the Buccaneers. Pirates have done the league double over the Glamour Boys this season. Chiefs are likely to end the season empty-handed again after being eliminated from the Nedbank Cup by Milford FC on penalties. Leeds United legend Radebe, formerly of Chiefs, has delivered his verdict.
“Having played for the club, knowing how big a brand it is and not having won a trophy for 10 years, it is worrying,” said Radebe during a conversation with Independent Newspapers.
“It is concerning for such a big club that they have just dropped like this. The fact that they are not in the Nedbank Cup is a big disappointment for the fans and for the club.
“This is what a club strives for – winning trophies and bragging rights. It shows the wrongs that are happening at the club, and there is a lot that is happening that we don’t see, which is a huge problem for me,” added the Leeds United legend.
CHIEFS FAN BEGS FOR BENNI
On Football SA’s Facebook account, supporters are pleading in the comments section for Benni to come to Naturena. Whether or not he heeds those cries is another matter entirely. We’ve discussed five of the great man’s options as he stands at a crossroads in his career. Some are serious, some not so much.
CHIEFS TO RELEASE UNDERPERFORMING TRIO
According to the Citizen, talented utility midfielder George Matlou has struggled to have an impact with the Glamour Boys since moving there from Soweto rivals Swallows. Soccer Laduma believes that Happy Mashiane is leaving because of a lack of first-team minutes, and they’re also categorical about Colombian striker Jasond Gonzalez’s imminent exit. The 24-year-old former Real Santa Cruz man has yet to break his goal-scoring duck for the Glamour Boys and will return to the Bolivian club after his loan spell at the end of June.
