Chiefs’ Kaze Confident Du Preez Will Bounce Back from Miss in Lubumbashi.
(The Post News) – Ashley Du Preez squandered a chance in their most recent CAF Confederation Cup match, Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze defended the attacker.
He had a fantastic opportunity to put the Amakhosi ahead during Saturday’s hotly contested game against AS Simba in Lubumbashi when he found himself one-on-one with the goalie but was unable to convert. Fans were irritated by the miss because they believed it may have shifted the game’s momentum in the Chiefs’ favour.
Kaze, however, urged fans to have patience and understanding by choosing to consider the wider picture. He underlined that even the best football players in the world have times they’d want to forget and that they make mistakes like this, as it is a natural part of the game. Kaze asserts that Du Preez is still a crucial component of the team’s offensive approach and that his total effort and contribution on the field shouldn’t be overshadowed by one lost opportunity.
“Taking chances is important in football, but it’s also important to learn from your mistakes,” Kaze said, expressing his belief that Du Preez will use the experience to get better. The striker has the mental toughness and will to bounce back fast, according to the co-coach, who anticipates that he will be even more resilient in future games.
Kaze went on to say that the coaching staff still completely supports Du Preez, stressing the value of preserving team spirit and cohesion as they strive to advance in European play.
