Kaizer Chiefs skipper and veteran goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is not surprised at the criticism over his performances, especially after Amakhosi were thrashed 4-0 by AmaZulu in a DStv Premiership clash in Durban last week.
“I think to be fair, football is a team sport and yes, when the team is not doing well certain individuals will be labelled, will be given names,” said the 35-year-old gloveman who’s been in Amakhosi’s first team since 2004.
Khune — Bafana’s long-time No.1, including at the 2010 World Cup, and a stalwart at Naturena for a decade before injuries started to take a toll a few years ago, said it was important for him to lead his teammates by example and be the first accept blame when Chiefs are not doing well. “There are a lot of youngsters in the team who can learn a lot from me. With the situation like this [Chiefs’ poor form], I have to rise and I have to give better performances than I gave [against AmaZulu].
