Kaizer Chiefs' Flavio Silva given a straight warning after firing blanks - 'You don't have time, fans will be on your case! You must deliver now'

Flavio Silva is among the six new players that Kaizer Chiefs have signed in the ongoing transfer window.

The striker was brought on board to improve the otherwise blunt striking department at Amakhosi.

Chiefs fans are well known for their unforgiving reactions against players who have failed to deliver.

Striker Collins Mbesuma, who played for Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and some other top teams, has now warned the attacker against taking too long to score.

He argues that the supporters will see something in him once he gets the ball in the back of the net.

"He must know that at Chiefs, as a striker, you don't have time to say you're still adapting...you need to hit the ground running or else the fans will always be on your case," he told Sowetan.

“He must deliver now. At Chiefs or Pirates, the fans don't give you time, and when they give you 45 minutes, that's too much.

"So, Silva must make sure he scores now, even though these are friendlies," Mbesuma concluded.

Silva has played two games already against Vitesse and Utrecht without scoring a single goal. The striker has struggled to make an impact.

It is interesting to see how he will perform in the Premier Soccer League and other competitions when the season starts.
