How Chiefs Are Missing Out On What Made Baloyi, Khune Great

How Chiefs Are Missing Out On What Made Baloyi, Khune Great

Kaizer Chiefs could be lacking a brave coach when it comes to the goalkeeping issue at the club, after comments by Brian Baloyi.

The signing of Fiacre Ntwari has seemingly not met the expectations of the club, after the Rwandan was dropped in the four last four games for Amakhosi. 

However, Brandon Petersen could not keep his place and Bruce Bvuma was also recalled, with all the shot-stoppers yet to keep a clean sheet in the league.

Former Glamour Boys goalkeeper, Baloyi, has suggested young goalkeeper Bontle Molefe lacks a coach who would be brave enough to give him an opportunity. 

"The goalkeepers all three of them that have played, they haven't put up their hand to say I want to be number one. I was thinking the young boy Molefe would see this as an opportunity," Baloyi said on Metro FM Sports

"When I broke through the first team, on two occasions, I had big name goalkeepers (ahead of me), Eshele Botende was a beast. As a young man, 19 years old, having set on the bench for two years, after signing as a 17-year-old, I had to fight.

"Later on, when Philippe Troussier came to Chiefs he called me to the side and said to me, 'Do you really want to play? I said 'Yes', and he said, 'Show me'. I remember Clive Barker used to fight with the club about Steve Crowley. And he (Troussier) said to me, 'I don't have a number one, he (Crowley) is number one for South Africa, not for me, show me that you can play'," Baloyi added.

Former Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral was also crazy enough to give a 20-year-old Itumeleng Khune a chance in 2007/08 season after Rowen Fernandez was signed by German club Arminia Bielefeld, with Emile Baron struggling with injuries.

Molefe, who has been number one in the junior national teams, is currently 21 years of age.
