Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef has insisted they’ve told the players about the importance of grinding for results rather than the traditional ‘beautiful’ football they usually display during the AFCON break.
The Glamour Boys resumed the second half of the season with a hard fought 1-0 win over Golden Arrows in the Betway Premiership last Tuesday before picking up maximum points with the same scoreline away to Zesco United in the CAF Confederation Cup in Ndola on Sunday courtesy of Pule Mmodi’s second minute strike.
Amakhosi currently find themselves in third spot both on the domestic and continental front and Ben Youssef admits that they have resorted to going out for three points as opposed to playing beautiful football which has not yielded positive results in the past few matches.
“We make a lot of meeting with the player, and we discuss about the importance of winning,” Youssef said in Zambia.
“Now, we only think to win the games more than the good football and to enjoy football.
“I think from the first way we played a lot of nice game but unfortunately we was unlucky to score. We finished with a draw.
“Now, for us the most important thing than winning the game, the most important is three points and then if it’s coming with good football, we’re happy.
“If not, also, we are happy because the only thing that will keep us in the rank or qualify is three point.
