NEWS: Legend of the Kaizer Chiefs Brian Baloyi Slams Current AmaKhosi Players’ Standards
After losing every game since the DStv Premiership resumed, the home team, Kaizer Chiefs, enters this tantalizing match as the underdog. To make matters worse, ABC Motsepe team Milford knocked the Glamour Boys from the Nedbank Cup after they failed to score in their last three games.
The Mighty Buccaneers gained the bragging rights of the Soweto derby in November of last year thanks to Bafana Bafana striker Evidence Makgopa, who delivered the Sea Robbers a 1-0 victory. Coach Cavin Johnson’s team will be trying to exact revenge in this meeting.
In an interview with our Sports Content Coordinator Ayanda Vezi, Chiefs veteran and Hollywoodbets ambassador Brain Baloyi stated that the players on game day ought to be playing for their life.
The only advantage the underdog team has is that their players are under pressure, albeit not as much as they would be if they were favorites, he said. “For me, the Derby has been very unpredictable for the last two or three years and there are a lot of things that contribute to it,” he said.
“But the Chiefs, I tell you, are under greater pressure right now, and whether they go into a game as favorites or not, I think the players who are there right now should be playing for their lives because at the conclusion of the season, a new coach and new players need to be brought in, and One chance that can make or break a player is the derby. This is their chance to not just establish themselves but also restore what little remaining pride our followers may have,” he remarked.
In response to a question from Spiderman on whether Kaizer Chiefs players are working harder, Baloyi stated that the guys at Glamor Boys are not Chiefs caliber.
“More work won’t make you win matches, whether you do it or not. There are many factors that went into why they didn’t win, but ultimately, as I’ve stated repeatedly over the past two years, people sometimes believed that even the club would think I was being too critical.
However, in my opinion, if you are criticizing, it’s because you adore the club, and it won’t help if you sugarcoat the situation. The majority of the players present are, in actuality, not future Chiefs players. If they are, then they have to disprove both myself and everyone else, he stated.
AmaKhosi will play host to Golden Arrows tomorrow and then host Orlando Pirates on Saturday at FNB Stadium, their rivals.
