Khama Billiat of Ajax Cape Town
Ajax Cape Town’s star winger Khama Billiat feels the attacking players need to “come up with something new” because opponents have done their homework.
“I think we are on our best (form), but we just need to show much more combination play than last year because everyone knows how we play now. So we have to come up with another thing,” the Zimbabwean says.
“I think we are seeing it as a big challenge because we have got to move one step forward and change things. That is how you keep improving, so we had a great feeling in our last game (beating Celtic 2-0) and the win is going to take us to where we want to be.”
Ajax face Golden Arrows away from home this weekend and then Black Leopards in Cape Town before going on break.
Billiat went on to add that he expects defenders to keep a close eye on him given the dangers he posed last season.
“Ja, it’s always like that, even the way we approach games – we know that some players need to be watched carefully. I take it as a challenge when others plan against me, but I’m confident I will pass the test.”
Given Ajax’s lack of goals in recent matches, MTNFootball.com asked Billiat his thoughts on whether the injuries to Alcardo van Graan and Antonio Correia have impacted on Terror Fanteni, leaving him short of strike support.
“Goals – ja, I think it’s a challenge for us to work hard and make it easier for Terror, or whoever is going to be on the right spot. We will try to do more.”
