Kaizer Chiefs have no pride says club legend

Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo believes that the current crop of players are not driven enough to take the club back to the top.

Sundowns won the Premiership for the sixth time in a row last season. Although it appears that Sundowns will win the Premiership this time around , they missed out on a couple of the domestic cups already and have Cape Town City trying to put them under pressure. Kaizer Chiefs simply haven’t looked like ending their title drought in that time.

Khumalo says he us frustrated watching another season unfold in such a predictable fashion.

“I have a simple question for you: How does it feel to watch your opponents walking up to the podium to receive awards while watching them on television. There are individual and team awards,” Doctor Khumalo wrote in the Soccer Laduma magazine.

“I still wonder how it feels to watch opposition players and teams collecting awards while sitting in your lounge and watching them on television? Once again, I really hope that someone will show up and challenge Sundowns next season.

“The more players and teams raising their hands next season, the better it will be for our football. That’s how the game will be interesting and catch everyone’s eye. Everyone will start getting more interested in the game.”

Kaizer Chiefs are now the only currently active PSL club other than Sundowns to win the Premiership in the last nine years and their last triumph came in 2015.

Sundowns have won 13 of the 27 Premiership seasons contested and sport a huge lead over the Soweto Giants who each own four PSL trophy wins.

The Brazilians have become incredibly dominant in recent years winning the last two league titles by 16 points, whereas the first three league wins of their current sequence were achieved by five points or less.
