0 goals in 4 matches: Kaizer Chiefs star explains

Kaizer Chiefs are not enjoying football. Amakhosi have not scored a single goal in the past four matches. Dillan Solomons believes the problem is not as bad as it seems.

KAIZER CHIEFS’ DILLAN SOLOMONS BACKS HIS ATTACKING TEAMMATES

According to the speedy full-back from Steenberg, Cape Town, confidence is the massive element that has been affecting his Kaizer Chiefs teammates upfront.

“I think it’s just confidence. Confidence does a great deal for you; if you are confident, you score anything,” said Solomons via FARPost.

“Anything will go in for you [when you are confident], but I think that has been lacking with our strikers. It obviously comes with pressure.

“When you know there is a lot of pressure on you as a striker, and you are the main guy. You are the guy that’s supposed to get us goals, and I think that also plays a big part in having a mental block or not scoring goals. But I think confidence plays a big part in being upfront and scoring goals,” the Kaizer Chiefs winger added.

“Mentally, it’s been tough trying to figure out how we go about things.

“I think for us, just when we concede has been our mental block. The conceding part has been the mental block where we conceded, and we can’t get back into games. In the last game, we created the most chances in the first half, and once Richards Bay FC scored, we just couldn’t get anywhere close to the goals.

“So I think that’s something we need to work on. It’s just mental strength. I think that’s where we lack, but I feel like we also need to create more chances for our strikers, me included. I think that’s putting in better crosses for our strikers to get onto,” Solomons concluded ahead of Kaizer Chiefs’ hosting of SuperSport United in Polokwane on Saturday.

SUPERSPORT UNITED

Meanwhile, Amakhosi have confirmed the home game against Matsatsanta will be moved away from the FNB Stadium to Polokwane’s Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday at 17:30.

“Kaizer Chiefs will be in action against two Tshwane outfits for two league matches in a space of three days when they meet SuperSport United on Saturday in Polokwane, followed by Mamelodi Sundowns on Tuesday in Johannesburg,” the club announced.

‘[Kaizer] Chiefs continue their hunt for a second win of the year when they welcome SuperSport United who also have struggles of their own, being winless in 10 DStv Premiership matches on the trot.

“The match against Matsatsantsa takes place on a special day for South Africa. On 27 April, the country will be celebrating 30 years of democracy. The city of Polokwane will also be hosting a marathon early that morning to commemorate this momentous occasion. Kaizer Chiefs will participate in the marathon on the day,” the note added.
