Looking somewhat rejuvenated after struggling with form last season, Kaizer Chiefs defender Bradley Cross has told how criticism has reinvigorated him, albeit admitting it was difficult to be scapegoated.
Cross received a lot of criticism from the club's fan base last term as he struggled to knuckle down in what was his maiden season at Chiefs. The 24-year-old utility left-back would go on to lose his slot in the starting line-up amid shaky performances.
Cross seems to have redeemed himself, starting Chiefs' first two league games against Stellenbosch and Polokwane City. The Amakhosi defender is also expected to start when they host Richards Bay in their third league game of the season at FNB Stadium tonight 7.30pm.
