Thabo Cele has mixed emotions for his time at Kaizer Chiefs this season as they face Sekhukhune United tomorrow
Thabo Cele is a content man.
The Kaizer Chiefs midfielder said he was pleased to be back in the team but not entirely happy about his contribution to the side.
Cele spent the grater part of the season on the sidelines due to injury and made his return to the side late in the campaign.
The former Bafana Bana international will be looking to make a meaningful contribution to Amakhosi as they plan to finish strongly on the third spot.
“Of course, like I said, me as an individual also it’s not been easy because you want to reach a certain level and a certain standard,” said Cele.
“But when things are not working out for you, you need to remain calm and just keep on working like what I’ve been doing.
“So, me coming back and trying to help the team in these last few games is something that I’ve been working towards, since I’ve been out for so many games.
“So, it’s a mental thing, to always be up for a comeback all the time you know. So that’s football. That’s how it goes. Sometimes you’re down, sometimes you’re up and then you’re down and try to bring yourself back.
“So that’s what I’ve been trying to do and I’m still at it, you know what I mean.”
Against Sekhukhune United tomorrow, Cele will be expected to play a key role in midfield for Chiefs at New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The match starts at 3pm.
