Friday, 05 January 2023 saw Kaizer Chiefs’ vice-captain Keagan Dolly speak out on a tough week for the club at Naturena. The team had recently been eliminated from the Carling Knockout at the hands of AmaZulu, and had also seen a change of coaches, with Molefi Ntseki replaced by Cavin Johnson, and Arthur Zwane redeployed to the club’s development.
Despite the challenges faced, Dolly and his teammates are looking forward to the upcoming match against high-flying Golden Arrows. “Obviously we are disappointed from our last game and not qualifying for the next round of the Carling Cup, but I think this is an important weekend for us. We have to come back and not dwell on the past. If we can win this weekend, we can change our mindset and start winning,” Dolly said.
The Arrows will prove to be a stern test for Amakhosi, but Dolly is confident his side can overcome the KZN-based outfit. “They are confident at the moment. I’m sure they will be thinking we are down and out going into this game but I feel it is for us to show them that we are Kaizer Chiefs and prove to them what we are made of. We will go there with the mindset of getting nothing less than the three points, and I believe we have the capability to do that,” he said, adding, “However, we will not underestimate them, we know we will have to work hard, but we are prepared to do what it takes.”
