Consistency The Major Issue With Zwane’s Chiefs?

Consistency The Major Issue With Zwane’s Chiefs?

While Kaizer Chiefs have shown glimpses of brilliance this season, Arthur Zwane's side has been consistently inconsistent, something which midfielder Cole Alexander hopes the club can manage to rectify.

Chiefs went within narrowly missing out on securing second spot to losing two matches on the trot.

That has been the roller coaster of Chiefs' season so far. Amakhhosi, following their 4-0 mauling at the hands of AmaZulu, find themselves in fourth place on the DStv Premiership standings, 16 points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Speaking to the media at the Nedbank Cup draw, veteran midfielder Alexander, says his teammates are aware of what is expected from Zwane; however, they require the consistency to carry it out.

"I think with every coach there is always something to learn, and every coach has their qualities, and I can see that in coach Zwane. He brings something different, and the guys get it now, we know what he wants and if it works, we look great. It's just to have that consistency when we do it," he said.

Alexander highlights the benefit provided to the squad by the Chiefs' backroom staff, but he has urged his teammates to replicate that on the field of play.

"I think every day we are getting better and better. There is everything at Chiefs, we have sports scientists, we have amazing doctors, amazing people, there's everything and as a player, to have all of that prepares us so well, so we are halfway [to] winning already just with our preparation.

"Having that for us is a big opportunity and a big win and now its just for us to get it right on the field," he continued.

The 33-year-old has managed to shake off the niggle that has kept him out of Chiefs' last two matchday squads and will be hoping to be available for selection when Amakhosi face Sundowns next Saturday.
