The ex-Bafana Bafana forward‚ despite noticeably slowing as he progresses into his mid-30s‚ was a favourite of last season’s coach Ernst Middendorp as he steered a previously underachieving Chiefs on an improbable run to runners-up.
Parker’s start in Chiefs’ season-opener helping his team to a 2-1 MTN8 quarterfinal victory against Maritzburg United on Sunday confirms new coach Gavin Hunt’s long-professed admiration for the once Dutch and Serbian-based player too.“Since I’ve joined Kaizer Chiefs 10 years ago‚ until today‚ I have always been adding my value to the team. I have never been a favourite but I have always been a team player‚” Parker said.
“And people who know the game‚ know football; coaches at a decent level‚ experienced coaches; my past and present coaches – they can identify quality between players and who adds more value as well.“I focus on the positives more than the negatives. I don’t read comments and other stuff. I focus on me every day and how I can do the best for the team and the club.
“The coaches believe that we have to compete amongst each other for us to give as much value as we can to help the team win and improve. And it’s by no mistake or favour or muthi - as I’ve heard‚ that my muthi is strong [that Parker plays].
