“We can’t sit there and say that after two games we should already have 14 points. It’s impossible. Be a little bit more humble.'
Kaizer Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp and his assistant Shaun Bartlett are confident Amakhosi are still in contention for the Absa Premeirship title.Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has said that Bafana Bafana’s qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations comes as a huge boost not just to the national team but to the Premier Soccer League ‚ and all the clubs and players who compete in it.
In 2017‚ when Bafana failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup‚ there was a notable two-week period where barely a goal was scored in the PSL. It is possible there was a link‚ and that the failure to qualify affected the mood and motivation of SA football as a whole. Middendorp said SA reaching Egypt 2019‚ in June and July‚ and Sunday’s disciplined 2-1 win against Libya in Tunisia can lift football in the country in all spheres.
In the bigger picture‚ he said‚ it can also tee Bafana up for qualification for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar‚ and that can be a motivation to all South Africa footballers‚ where a failure to reach the Afcon Finals would have had an opposite effect.
