Kaizer Chiefs Head Coach, Arthur Zwane: We Try To Calm Players’ Nerves

“Look, we try our level best to make sure that we calm the nerves of the players time and again. Uhm, you can only control the space that you’re in, you know…unfortunately, players are human beings, they also, after training, go home, they meet people who are talking about football and people who are very supportive to them and also expect them to perform at their utmost best in each and every game they take part in. So, that alone, brings in that little bit of pressure to players because they hear what people are saying and unfortunately that’s the space we cannot control. “And, at the same time, I understand we are dealing with players that are coming from different environments, different backgrounds and they’ve been coached differently as well, and the demands are not the same as well, so some of them are still adjusting (to the club).

“They have shown a lot of positives you know, signs of improving but sometimes that lapse of concentration in the game because of being a Kaizer Chiefs player, you know what is expected of you. So, as time goes, everyone will settle in and you’ll see the true colours of these players because most of them are quality players.”
