Kaizer Chiefs fans need no reminder of the club's long trophy drought. But there is a more pressing problem standing in the way.
Kaizer Chiefs should stop admitting passengers
If you look around the world, elite football clubs have very little time for prima donna or cocky behavior. Of course, superstar players may be given some leeway, but it all depends on the player performing and producing the goods. Great work on Netflix “Last Dance” We saw how the Chicago Bulls gave Dennis Rodman a “vacation” from basketball to de-stress and party. But guess what? When he returned to the court, he delivered and became a key component of a winning dynasty.That's not all Michael Jordan He inspired the team.
Poor performance doesn't matter
It's clear that whatever is going on with the Chiefs is not working. There is still time to turn the tide, but we must stop tolerating complacency and lack of ambition among our players. Because the team is in relatively poor shape, a player may perform badly over the weekend and still keep his spot in the next game. There are several reasons for that. First, the team lacks depth, and second, interim manager Cavin Johnson seems afraid of upsetting some of the egos within the group. They are highly paid senior professionals, not impressionable children. They should be treated as such.
The club deserves better reviews from experienced professionals.
The Chiefs' two highest-paid stars, Itumeleng Kuhn and Keegan Doley, have both been well below their maximum salaries over the past few seasons. Shouldn't seniors do that? More established stars will lead by example. Do you have consistency, quality performance, and exemplary behavior?
A season drifting into nothingness
Glamor Boys are in 8th place with 30 points after 23 games. In the last match against Chippa, they suffered their ninth loss of the season, and the race for a top-eight finish and a spot in next season's MTN8 became hopeless. They have shot blanks in their last three league games and have won just one of their last eight. This is more like a relegation situation than a team chasing the CAF Champions League.
