Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye reveals that the reason Christian Saile is scoring at SuperSport United is because coach Gavin Hunt is playing him to his strength.
Saile joined Matsatsantsa in January in a swap deal with Tashreeq Morris. The Congolese striker has played five matches in all competitions so far and has scored two goals, one in the Nedbank Cup and the other in his former side’s 4-1 hammering by United in the league on Tuesday night.

The former Amakhosi winger says Hunt has also complemented Saile’s strength with that of the team and that the player has less pressure in Tshwane.
“Gavin Hunt had a smart front three and he played them according to their strength,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.
“There is no pressure at SuperSport, they play him according to his strength they hardly delay the pass at SuperSport. The play at the back, they find [Lebo] Maboe and [Siphesihle] Ndlovu, they know how to pass, they play between the defence and then he goes behind.
“They pass him on his feet, they play and then he runs behind, cross the ball between the penalty spot and the defence because the defence is facing their own goals when the cross is made. That’s difficult because one can score an own goal.
“Well done to him and he plays the ball on the ground. They also use him according the team’s strength at SuperSport.
“At Kaizer Chiefs he wanted to do a lot of things, they’d ask him to come and defend. He started his play from the Chiefs’ half that’s the mistake he was making. I mean the guy can’t dribble.”
