Kaizer Chiefs captain Yusuf Maart remains fully dedicated to the team cause after enduring an up-and-down season as they gear up for the visit of Cape Town City at FNB Stadium later this evening.
Maart, 29, has had a mixed season featuring some games from the substitute’s bench but injuries and suspensions have also seen him feature less with the likes of new signing Thabo Cele and youngster Samkelo Zwane being preferred by coach Nasreddine Nabi.
The former Orlando Pirates graduate has made 24 appearances in all competitions this term with three assists and a single goal to his name.
With Amakhosi looking to avenge their defeat from the corresponding fixture, Maart is contend with being supportive on whoever gets selected ahead of him.
“Everyone in the squad wants to play but we are all committed to what the coach decides, so you also have to be happy for the person who gets selected,” he told the club’s official website.
“That’s how football is, because it is a team game, and we are all in it together.”

Maart also admitted that it will be difficult to plan for the Citizens because of their versatility.
“It’s not easy to prepare for a team like City because they can play different styles of football, but we do know they like to run,” he said.
“For us, as a team, it is more about executing the coach’s instructions on how we should play.”
The game against the Citizens will kick off at 19:30 from the Calabash.
