Carling Knockout opening round promising plenty of fireworks

Chiefs have roped in 11 new signings in the recent transfer window, including Falvio Silva, Khanyiso Mayo, Etiosa Ighodaro among the forwards.

The Burundian tactician has insisted they are not battling with their attacking options, but instead trying to find the overall balance – which he declared they are closer than ever to their best XI.

"The difficult thing is not to find the best striker, the difficult thing is to find the best team on the field. Not the best players but the team on the field that can play together and that can keep a good balance between offensive and defensive,” Kaze said. 

“I believe that now we are heading into a moment that we have probably found our best team. I would say 90%, now it's a matter of giving them more time to play together, for them to have technical sensations together. 

“To understand each other without even looking at each other and I believe that the last two matches have proven that we are in the right direction."

Chiefs travel to Cape Town Stadium to face Stellenbosch FC in the Carling Knockout Round of 16 on Sunday afternoon (15:00).

Siwelele FC coach Lehlohonolo Seema admitted they will not be looking to play 'pretty football' when they come up against high-riding Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon (15:00), as he stressed the need for positive results.

"I can promise you we are not looking to play pretty football and our supporters I'm sure they'll agree with us with the way things are going. We are just looking to get results, how? It's not a big concern for us as long as we can manage at the end of the 90 minutes or 95 minutes, we can have points or we have won the game. That's exactly what we are building towards at the moment,” Seema said.
