    Khoza reveals secret to success as 'proudly South African team' Pirates outnumber Sundowns

    The Sea Robbers continue to celebrate their majority presence in the national team squad that is heading to Morocco. Out of the 25 players named for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals, nine are from the Soweto giants, although Mbekezeli Mbokazi has signed for Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer. Until recently, Masandawana dominated Bafana, but the Sea Robbers have displaced them as the majority contributor.

    Another Potential Blow For Stellies! Stellenbosch risk losing 48-goal attacker for FREE as Chiefs watch on

    PSL's top three clubs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, are naturally monitoring the talented player's situation, having raided the Winelands side for stars over the years. The highly rated forward will see his contract expire at the end of the season, and this means he is free to sign a pre-contract with a club of his choice from January 1.

    After a long-awaited debut, the youngster was given his first start for the Soweto giants. Just like his former teammate, his debut took too long to come by, given the off-pitch challenges he faced before he signed for Amakhosi. Now his performance on his debut has been assessed, but the coach asserted that what matters for Chiefs are the general performance of the team.

    Perfect time for Chiefs to fire Kaze and Ben Youssef & appoint jobless Mosimane as new coach

    Amakhosi's recent run has been underwhelming, and in six possible Premier Soccer League points, the Soweto giants have only managed to collect two. They lost an opportunity to close in on Orlando Pirates, the league leaders so far, and second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns. The Motaungs have now been asked to look for a new coach, a tactician with the right profile to handle the club and the players.

    The 24-year-old has experienced a career-changing run in the few months since joining the Sea Robbers, winning the MTN8 Cup and, more recently, the Carling Knockout Cup. After showcasing impressive form for his club, earning a call-up for the Zambia international friendly clash, and making it to the preliminary South Africa squad, there were hopes he would be part of the travelling team to Morocco—but that did not materialise.

    The forward has been finding the net with an impressive regularity recently, and his form has been picking up even though he was not named in South Africa's AFCON team. If he keeps finding the back of the net, then he will make himself hard to ignore, especially at a time when the World Cup finals lie ahead for Bafana. To do well in the global bonanza, Hugo Broos is expected to pick the best, and the forward only needs to maintain his form in Europe.

    Amakhosi were once again left frustrated in front of goal, recording their second straight goalless stalemate after also firing blanks against Chippa United in midweek. Despite dominating large spells, Chiefs could not find the breakthrough against the Rockets in their match on Sunday, December 7, yet the point was enough to lift them into fourth place on the Premier Soccer League table.

    With two games before the Premier Soccer League takes a break, Amakhosi had a chance to go level with Orlando Pirates. They were held by Chippa United, and the second attempt was to beat TS Galaxy and go level with Mamelodi Sundowns, but they have also squandered that chance. Although Galaxy were reduced, the Glamour Boys failed to take advantage, as they were frustrated at Mbombela Stadium.

The 33-year-old stated that the Reds have "thrown him under the bus" after being repeatedly benched by manager Arne Slot, while arguing that he deserves a place in their starting line-up. But Carragher feels the Egyptian is trying to get Slot sacked.
