Stuart Baxter Believes That Bernard Parker Deserves More Respect from Kaizer Chiefs Supporters! The veteran produced a man of the match performance over the weekend.
Kaizer Chiefs defeated Orlando Pirates 2-1 in the DSTV Premiership on Saturday afternoon. Head coach Stuart Baxter was full of praise of the performance of Bernard Parker.
Die Hond only returned from injury just in time for the Soweto Derby. There were some questions on whether he should play or not.
He was instrumental for the Black and Gold as he provided an assist for Reeve Frosler and ran his socks off in the match.
“Football is a game of opinions, and everybody shouldn’t think the same way as Stuart Baxter and everybody shouldn’t think the same way as Jurgen Klopp, and the guy at the pizza store down the corner has a right to his opinion as well” he told the media after the match.
“When we look at Bernard, I think even the most hardened Chiefs fans have to look at this guy and say, ‘this guy loves Kaizer Chiefs, and he loves everything about the place, and he puts his body on the line’.
“For that reason, they should respect him.
“Bernard has no divine right to get appraised, but he is so well-liked by his teammates and respected by the opposition that I think it would be a shame if he is not appreciated. Sometimes not for the performance on the day but for the person that he is.
“If you cut him, he will bleed gold and black, so he is that sort of person. I don’t tell the supporters what they should think.
“They don’t need to think what I’m instructing them to think. They have their own minds and that is the joy of football.
“Bernard has shown that he is a valuable member of the team and will continue so,” he spoke.
