Coach Middendorp happy as Chiefs take shape

Ernst Middendorp has praised his frontline players as Kaizer Chiefs got their season off to a winning start, saying Amakhosi will look to play more on the front foot to unsettle opponents.

It was a fitting start which the Chiefs coach hope will culminate with the Premiership title to put a gloss on the club’s 50th anniversary celebrations. “We always kept two-and-a-half or three guys upfront where we can have a target and where we can make it dangerous for the opponent‚” said Middendorp.Middendorp was impressed with decent debut displays from his new attackers Serbian Samir Nurkovic and Zambian Lazarous Kambole.

Middendorp said he has spoken to his players and reminded them of the colossal pressure that comes with playing for Chiefs.“On the field and off the field we have spoken about what we have to do different [from last season] and this is something we have to continue with."

After one game?

Are they taking shape?
