Amakhosi coach warns visiting teams!
“We have to make sure that people understand that when they come to FNB, they come to Kaizer Chiefs, and they are coming here to drop points or to donate points.” Zwane said as quoted by FarPost.
“And that’s where we should start. We are not going to fix everything at once but will take things one step at a time.”
“We want to win every game that we play. The SuperSport was not a must-win game for us. Every game is a must-win, not only this one.
“Look, we have to build on something, we are a work in process. And in order for us to get things right we have to do one thing right. Yes we are not going to win all the games.”
