Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz has explained why midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa hasn’t enjoyed much game-time yet, saying it’s related to his adaption to South Africa.
Mtasingwa, 27, joined Amakhosi at the start of the current campaign, however he has struggled for game-time featuring in only three matches across all competitions, and twice in Betway Premiership.
The Tanzanian national was a late substitute in Chiefs’1-1 draw away a Polokwane City on Saturday, playing only 23 minutes as the side dropped to fourth place on the log with 12 points even though they are unbeaten in the campaign so far.
Speaking after the game Da Cruz said Mtasingwa is still adapting to the country and the side’s game model but he trusts his player.
“It’s related to his adaptation in South Africa because he arrived a little bit late during our preseason,” said da Cruz.
“So he needs time to adapt to our game model. He says he trusts in him a lot.
“He says after the FIFA break we will play a lot of games so we will need everyone and Adolf will get minutes.”
