Kaizer Chiefs youngster Mduduzi Shabalala has admitted he didn’t finish last season on a high note.
Shabalala, 21, made 33 appearances across all competitions last season but his four goals in 2024/25 came within the first 11 league matches.
He has now admitted he didn’t finish the campaign well, and that Chiefs as a team learnt they need to improve their finishing.
“I started the season well, but I didn’t finish on a high note,” he told Chiefs’ media team.
“As a team, we learnt that we need to manage ourselves better and we need to concentrate more on our finishing.
“Doubtlessly, we definitely want to win more of our home games next season to be able to compete for top positions on the league table.”
Shabalala also insisted that the pre-season games are not so much about the results but rather a learning experience.
“So far, so good,” he added.
“All players are fighting for a position in the first team. It’s a fiery, but healthy competition.
“However, with regard to the training matches in the Netherlands – we are here to learn. It’s not so much about the result. We want to take all these learning experiences with us back to South Africa.
“For sure, we will compete in our training matches, but more importantly, to get better as a team. That’s our objective.”
