Cedric Kaze reveals Kaizer Chiefs' comeback plan after slump in form and Soweto Derby defeat to Orlando Pirates 'the only way to bounce back is to...'

Kaizer Chiefs suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates during Saturday's Soweto Derby clash at FNB Stadium.

The loss brings Amakhlosi's defeats to four in their last five games in a run that saw them bow out of the CAF Confederation Cup and Nedbank Cup, as well as affecting their Premier Soccer League campaign.

That leaves Chiefs in need of formulating a strategy to recover from the recent setbacks.

“I take full responsibility because I am the leader of the team,” Kaze said, as per Times Live.

“The only way to bounce back is to keep on working; the only way to redeem ourselves is to pick up points in the next games. We need to go out there and show them what happened against Pirates was an accident.

“We need to keep our heads up and work hard and go to the next games and try to pick up as many points as possible. There is no point in going back and saying I should have done this or that."

“The game is done and dusted, and we will leave the analysis to you [media] in terms of who should have played or not because the result was not positive," added Kaze.

"My focus is going to be the next game against Richards Bay and not on what we should have done against Pirates.”

As Chiefs go into their next match against Richards Bay, the away encounter on Tuesday, they will be hoping their players will be carrying a strong mentality from the current difficult run of form.

That leaves the coaches with the task of recultivating a winning culture within the team.
