Ahead of their Nedbank Cup last 32 fixture away to Stellenbosch tomorrow, Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has said why theyve opted to prioritise winning over obsessing about possession-based football in this second round of the campaign.
I believe that in every club, its the results that give you confidence to work on other things, Kaze said at a presser in Parktown yesterday. Sometimes you can be stubborn and say, I want to play this one way and this is my way of playing, and I will die with it. But when you die with ideas that dont work, maybe thats not a good way of dying.
Were probably going to sacrifice a little bit of possession to be able to be a team that hurts you when you dont expect it. Last year against AmaZulu, we had 72 ball possession and 19 shots, of which 12 were on target. And we missed a penalty and ended up getting only one point.
