Former Zambian international Christopher Katongo has given his thoughts on what could have led to compatriot Lazarous Kambole's struggles at Kaizer Chiefs.
Kambole, who is in his third season with Amakhosi has scored just two goals in his time at Naturena. His last goal came in a 4-0 victory over Chippa United on October 16, but he has not featured since then.
The Zambian forward was placed on the transfer list by Amakhosi before the start of the new campaign, but no club signed him, which is why he stayed at Naturena. He is in the final year of his contract and it's unclear at this stage what the next step in his career will be.
"The problem is that coaches just want to buy a striker or a player without checking if he will fit into his team. Or they buy the coach players, so maybe the first coach who brought Kambole did not know his strengths and weaknesses, so that he can fit into the team. What the coach knows is that Kambole scores goals," Katongo tells the Siya crew.
"He can (save his career at Chiefs). We know what he can do, but as a player if it continues, you get frustrated and then you start to lose form. Players can struggle, but it's how you take it that matters. It happened with (Collins) Mbesuma when he first got to Chiefs, but the way he took it was very important."
