Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has explained why the technical team opted to make three changes to their starting line-up against Siwelele this evening.
Amakhosi, on a seven-game unbeaten run are hosted by the Free State outfit at the Toyota Stadium this evening, with the home side looking to creep into the top eight before the end of the campaign – currently in 11th.
After the Soweto Derby, Kaze admits two changes were forced due to workload with Sipisihle Ndlovu and Bradley Cross replaced by Thabo Cele and Paseka Mako – while Mduduzi Shabalala returns for Sibongiseni Mthethwa.
“It was psychical and mental exhaustion, it was very demanding, emotionally as well, some of the changes are forced though, Ndlovu had discomfort and didn’t train for two days and being seen by the doctors, we hope to get some news tonight,” Kaze said via SuperSport TV.
“Brad as well, he’s had a couple of very demanding games, it was time to bring in fresh legs and Mdu – after his second half [in the Soweto Derby], we want to give him that momentum going forward.”
The Burundian coach says they are looking for a flawless end to the season; “We hope for 15 points in the last five games, it’s what a big club like Kaizer Chiefs needs and want, we need to be on the front foot every game to get positive results, starting from tonight.”
