Kaizer Chiefs defender Austin Dube says that if they stick to their game plan, he is confident they can bounce back against Maritzburg United on Wednesday.
Chiefs suffered a 1-0 defeat to Royal AM on Sunday, and will be hoping to end 2021 on a high when they face the Team of Choice at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Dube says they are doing all they can to prepare for the game, and is hoping that home advantage swings the game in Chiefs’ favour.
“We are doing all we can to prepare for the match. In away games, you have to adapt to certain conditions you’re not familiar with. But we have been doing well at home and playing at home we have that advantage,” Dube told the club’s website.
“I believe if we stick to our own plan and not focus too much on what they (Maritzburg) do, but focus on what we do well and rectify our mistakes from the last game, we can do anything.
He was naturally disappointed in the loss against Royal AM, but was encouraged by Chiefs continuing to perform well defensively.
Dube says that while there is room for improvement, he is pleased with the progress the Chiefs’ defence is making, and with his own progress of fitting in.
“We’re getting along well, and we have that consistency at the back,” Dube continued.
“We are keeping our shape, doing everything we do at training and applying that in the game. We have momentum and I think our defending has improved a lot.
” I’ve been doing well too in my view, but there’s still lots of room for improvement. Every game I want to improve more and more and do even better and be a better player. There’s always space for improvement.”
