Zwane Gives Berdict On Bimenyimana's First Chiefs Start

Zwane Gives Berdict On Bimenyimana's First Chiefs Start

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane was pleased to see Caleb Bimenyimana follow the instructions given to him after netting a brace against SuperSport United.

The Burundian striker made the most of first start for the club after netting twice as Chiefs came from behind to defeat Gavin Hunt's side at FNB Stadium.

"Yes, he's very aggressive in that near post and that's what we said to him, 'Attack the near post and the other guys will cover the far post and the penalty spot," Zwane told SuperSport after the game.

"And the balls will always come in that area and he did exactly that, good assist as well from Ashley [Du Preez] but great movement from Sithebe with those half turns, connecting with Yusuf you know.

"And that one touch from Yusuf set Ashley free to be able to play the ball into the near post and that led to the first goal.

"And obviously because of the pressure that we were putting them under they were bound to crack and we managed to get a penalty and like I said we managed to create a number of chances that we could have capitalised on."

Zwane was also pleased with the defensive structure after debutant Edmilson Dove partnered Zitha Kwinika as left-sided centre-back.

"Yes we might have made a few mistakes in applying ourselves but when we were building up from the back we were very composed, we always waited for the right moment," he added.

"You could see with the first goal, we were not just kicking the ball because we were under pressure, because of the balance of play.

"Because we've got a left-footed centre-back that can easily connect with the midfielders or with Hlanti, so we needed that and let's hope that we'll keep it that way as time goes on and improve," he added.
