Christian Saile said according to TimesLIVE: “Obviously, the leagues are not the same. The PSL is a bit difficult – I needed a bit of time to adapt, and I feel like I’m getting there.

“I’m working hard to start scoring goals and getting the confidence.

“There’s a big difference in the way they play in South Africa and Zambia.

“In Zambia there’s a lot of running and here it’s more possessional football and you have to avail yourself properly [for the ball]. Over there sometimes they give you the ball to just score.”
