Austin Dube, one of the new faces in the Kaizer Chiefs set up this season, has reflected on their defeat on Sunday and the team’s form heading into their final fixture for 2021.
Amakhosi host Maritzburg United at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday night hoping to bounce back from losing narrowly to Royal AM at the weekend – a victory will go a long way now that the Glamour Boys face the prospect of forfeiting two matches.
The Premier Soccer League confirmed earlier this week that the club’s request to postpone their games against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows, which Chiefs failed to honour citing an outbreak of Covid-19 cases, has been rejected!
Meanwhile, Dube is eager to see the side pick up points.
“We are doing all we can to prepare for the match. In away games, you have to adapt to certain conditions you’re not familiar with. But we have been doing well at home and playing at home we have that advantage,” he said on the Chiefs website.
“I believe if we stick to our own plan and not focus too much on what they (Maritzburg) do, but focus on what we do well and rectify our mistakes from the last game, we can do anything. We did our best, we just didn’t get the result. We’re disappointed, but we really tried. We did our best. If we created more chances and converted the chances we created, that would have been the turning point. They (Royal AM) had a penalty and a chance that hit the crossbar, but apart from that we played very well and didn’t give them many opportunities.”
The centre back is of the opinion that the pairing at rearguard is growing in confidence despite being sidelined recently and only playing two matches in just over three weeks.
“We’re getting along well, and we have that consistency at the back. We are keeping our shape, doing everything we do at training and applying that in the game. We have momentum and I think our defending has improved a lot. I’ve been doing well too in my view, but there’s still lots of room for improvement. Every game I want to improve more and more and do even better and be a better player. There’s always space for improvement,” he said.
