Vermezovic: We Earned Respect
18 February 2012
Kaizer Chiefs coach Vladimir Vermezovic says his team's 3-0 win over Moroka Swallows on Saturday was all about gaining respect.
Mandla Masango scored either side of a goal from Lehlohonolo Majoro to claim the bragging rights in the Soweto Derby.
"Today's lesson is the more goals you score, the more opponents will respect you," said the Serbian mentor.
"Today we could have lost the game, but also we could have destroyed them and can you imagine the respect after getting three over Swallows."
It was a clinical victory for the Sowetan giants who laboured to a 1-1 draw with Jomo Cosmos in midweek and Vermezovic says he is proud of the team as they moved into second place on the Absa Premiership table.
"We played much better today than we did against Jomo Cosmos. This is a good performance from a young team," he added.
Vermezovic also played down an alleged altercation with the linesman as he appeared very to be very animated with the referee's assistant during the match.
"We chatted. They know me. Sometimes linesmen have to help the referee. It's their job, but you know it's just part of the game," he said.

respect canot be earned within one dayn or week, but it needs that you continue to win the enough games then you will earn respect. there is only a league left for this sesson if not mistaken. then you need to win it to claim resapect. silverware determines the respect not one game.
