Da Cruz Reveals What Is Stopping Kaizer Chiefs From Winning Consistently

Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando da Cruz has admitted that costly mistakes by his players are preventing the team from building a strong winning run this season.

Amakhosi have struggled to record consecutive victories in all competitions, raising questions about their ability to compete consistently for trophies.

Since the beginning of the season, Chiefs have played 13 matches, winning five, drawing five and losing three. Although these results show that the Soweto giants can compete against their opponents, they have struggled to turn good performances into regular victories.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s Carling Knockout Cup match against Siwelele, Da Cruz was asked why his team has failed to win two matches in a row.

The French coach explained that individual errors have cost Chiefs valuable points, particularly in matches where he believes his players performed well enough to collect maximum points.

According to Da Cruz, there have been occasions when Chiefs deserved to win several matches in succession, but mistakes during important moments stopped them from achieving that goal.

He believes the problem is not necessarily a lack of quality within the squad, but rather the team’s inability to avoid errors that change the outcome of matches.

The coach will now be hoping his players can put those problems behind them as they prepare for an important Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final against Siwelele.

The match presents Chiefs with an opportunity to move closer to another trophy while also restoring confidence among their supporters.

A victory would take Amakhosi into the semi-finals and give the team a chance to build momentum heading into the next stage of the competition.

However, Da Cruz knows that his players must be more careful and make better decisions on the field if they want to achieve their ambitions this season.

For Chiefs supporters, the biggest question is whether the team can finally turn promising performances into consistent results.
