Kaizer Chiefs must avoid the elementary mistakes they've been making in their defence if they're to avoid falling way short of the target they've set themselves for the 2022-2023 campaign, veteran club goalkeeper and captain Itumeleng Khune said this week.
Khune was speaking days before Chiefs host log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, a game in which Amakhosi will be trying to avoid a third straight defeat after losses to Sekhukhune United and AmaZulu FC ."That's something that shouldn't be happening when you're playing for Kaizer Chiefs, making such errors," Khune said of their latest defeats.
Khune said the defeat against AmaZulu in Durban was the most excruciating because all the goals they conceded were as a result of their own mistakes. "We have to go out there and get the result we want, which is a win at home. It's very important we forget about the past and focus on the future." "We went to the field and we made silly errors, silly mistakes that led to goals. If you had to look at the stats, first half only, sometimes we created more than nine chances but we hit the target once.
Like his coach Zwane, Khune insisted Chiefs have not performed badly this season and are happy with their current position, given they're building a new team around a number of youngsters who have been promoted to the senior team from the club's development ranks.
