Kaizer Chiefs defeated Sekhukhune United 2-0 in the DSTV Premiership on Sunday evening. Stand in coach Arthur Zwane praised the efforts of his depleted squad.
The Glamour Boys took to a PSL field for the first time in over a week. This was due to Covid-19 ravaging their squad.
As a result, they did not honour their matches against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows last week. This was because they had 36 members test positive for the coronavirus.
This included head coach Stuart Baxter who could not be present on match day.
“Look, I think we had a very very good first-half, but we knew second half that the energy levels would drop, and we would start making mistakes and now we had to beef up the defence because we already had that advantage of scoring first,” Zwane told SuperSport TV after the win.
“So, as I said earlier on this is a big league so if you get the opportunity to score first especially in the situation, we find ourselves in as a team. Because we know that our players as you could see last 20 minutes you could see players cramping.
“Reeve was not even comfortable breathing. So, we had to make forced changes which is something that we anticipated.
“I think we executed the plan because that’s what we were expecting from them in terms of playing the ball to their centre-backs and launching it forward because they’ve got good and quick players. So, we had to neutralise that.
“We had to allow them to do that and then as soon as the ball is played, we drop centre. At the right moment to keep the ball because they are playing in departments.
“They only pushed three forward or they would only push one player forward with the hope that they will win the second ball and then the others join.
“So, ja, I think we planned very well, and it worked for us. I’m so proud of the boys because I never thought they would play 90 minutes.
“Credit to the boys.” Zwane said.
Amakhosi maintained their position on second of the league log. Arthur Zwane Proud of Kaizer Chiefs Players After Win Against Sekhukhune United!
