Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jnr reveals that the players wanted to train in honor of Luke Fleurs, who was killed in a hijacking incident. The team gathered at the Chiefs Village to mourn their fallen brother.
'At a time like this you ask how the players are feeling and they said they wanted to train,' said the Chiefs sporting director.
Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jnr has spoken of how Amakhosi’s players wanted to train the day the news broke of the killing of teammate Luke Fleurs, to pay tribute to their fallen brother. “They wanted to be on the field and to work for him. They are the ones who raised their hands and said they want to go to training.”
Amakhosi had the option of requesting a postponement of the match, which would surely have been granted by the Premier Soccer League. But Chiefs spokesperson Vina Maphosa confirmed on Friday that the team had departed for East London.
