Kaizer Chief coach Ben Youssef Khalid blames teams profligacy in Stellenbosch defeat

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ben Youssef Khalid has bemoaned his outfit wastefulness in their narrow defeat to Stellenbosch FC in the South Africa Premier League clash.

The Soweto giants succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to the Stellies in a highly competitive clash, held at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday night.

Speaking after the match, Youssef Khalid asserted his outfit failure to convert the opportunities created cost their defeat in the much-anticipated clash.

“But it’s the same mistake, when you score the first goal, you have to finish, you have to dominate, you have to kill, finish when you get six to seven opportunities in the first half and miss all of them even empty net you miss what we can do?” Youssef Khalid told SuperSport TV after the game.

“I think you make the right analysis when you dominate the first half you must kill the game and you start like that the second half you concede the first five minutes, I think we have to take our responsibility sometimes and have to see our mistakes.”

“You have to make the right analysis, we have to take responsibility of this loss, we have to say sorry to the fans and I think we have three days now to think about the next game, we don’t have a lot of time to discuss this game.

Khalid said now their focus is on the next game against fierce rivals Orlando Pirates on Saturday.

“That’s our job, that’s our job, in this tough moment you have to think about the players, you have to think of the mentality of the players to keep them up and whether we win or lose we continue to work,” he added.

“When you win, you don’t have to do a lot, when you lose you don’t have to be sad a lot, you have to watch other games, analyse and to continue to work.”
