No Kaizer Chiefs player is more famous than Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana right now. Coach Arthur Zwane has discussed his qualities.
It’s still early, but Chiefs seem to have found themselves a striker. Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana has equaled Peter Shalulile in the scorers’ charts.
As reported last Sunday, the 24-year-old Burundian became the first PSL player to smash in a hat trick of penalties in a 3-1 win over Stellenbosch FC.
The goals took the Chiefs striker to six goals in five games.
ARTHUR ZWANE ON WHAT MAKES CALEB SPECIAL
Speaking to the media after the game, coach Zwane pointed out Caleb’s unique skills as a number nine.
According to ‘10111,’ Caleb gives a lot more than just a big number nine waiting for the ball in the box.
“With Caleb, you must have seen – he simplifies things,” said Zwane as quoted by iDiskiTimes.
“He keeps it simple as a striker. He just wants to play the ball out wide, he wants to protect the ball, he wants to play those one-twos, and he is also skilful. He’s not just a tall boy, he’s quick for his structure and he’s got that balance as well.
“We have always wanted a player that can release players like Ashley du Preez. You must have seen the runs that he made, he freed Ash so that the ball carrier at that time must be able to pick one between the two including Kgaogelo Sekgota and that’s why Ash was, I think twice, was free because Caleb would attract [defenders] and that is the strength that he has. He’s clever on the ball.
“He’s not just a striker that will rely on high ball, but we are a team that penetrate in the middle and use width to create goal scoring opportunities,” the Chiefs boss concluded.
Meanwhile, Caleb will be searching for his seventh goal in five games when Chiefs host Chippa United in Johannesburg on Saturday.< /p>
