Cedric Kaze on Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 loss to Orlando Pirates: I still think we have 13 games to go which can change how our season is now
Cedric Kaze refuse to give up.
Kaze is not convinced Kaizer Chiefs are out of the Betway Premiership race.
The Amakhosi coach still thinks his team have something to offer in their pursuit for the PSL title after the 3-0 loss to chief rivals in Orlando Pirates yesterday.
This is despite the fact that he also finds his team as sluggish in their loss to the Sea Robbers at a sold out FNB Stadium yesterday.
The loss to Pirates and also Durban City’s win today sees Chiefs out of the top four as they remain with 30 points while Pirates atop of the standings and Mamelodi Sundowns, who are in the second spot, are on 41.
“I believe that the opponent deserved the win,” the Burundian told SuperSport TV. “We were nowhere near them. In the first 4 or 5 minutes, we conceded a goal on a short corner. Maybe it took a toll on how we wanted to start the game.”
He added that in the second half, they came out with “better intentions and better ideas.” “The opponents used the tricks in the first 15 minutes, every time, every minute falling down and took our energy down. And after that, the third goal, Miguel is out. We are one man down, and we don’t manage the moments.
“It’s a big disappointment, but we still have 13 games to go. We need to, to keep our heads up. It’s a very, very difficult pill to swallow. But we need to swallow it and go back to the training field and work harder.”
