Ex-Sundowns Star Backs Kaizer Chiefs to End Season With Silverware

Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Brent Carelse believes Kaizer Chiefs can still have a successful season despite their recent defeat to Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby.

Amakhosi suffered a 2-1 loss against their biggest rivals at FNB Stadium, a result that saw them drop to fifth place in the Betway Premiership. However, Carelse believes there are enough positive signs in the team’s performances to suggest that better results are coming.

Speaking to KickOff, the former Sundowns and Chippa United midfielder said Chiefs showed good attacking intent during the early stages of the derby but failed to make their chances count.

Carelse felt that Chiefs had the opportunity to surprise Pirates, especially considering how well they started the match. However, the Buccaneers were more clinical in front of goal and made their opportunities count.

He believes the difference between the two sides was their ability to finish the chances they created.

Despite the disappointing result, Carelse has encouraged Chiefs to continue playing with the same energy and confidence they showed during the opening stages of the derby.

According to him, consistency will be important if the Soweto giants want to finish the campaign with something to celebrate.

Carelse also believes that the team’s recent performances show that they are moving in the right direction, even though there is still work to be done.

Chiefs now have another opportunity to fight for silverware when they face Siwelele in the Carling Knockout Cup. A victory would take them closer to another chance of winning a trophy this season.

For Amakhosi supporters, the hope is that the team can turn its promising performances into positive results.

Carelse’s message is clear: Chiefs should not lose confidence, but they must start taking their chances and remain consistent if they want to end the season with something to show for their efforts.
