Komphela laments poor firepower in PSL

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela says goal scoring is a South African soccer problem and not only a Kaizer Chiefs issue.

He was speaking after Kaizer Chiefs played to a one-all draw with Free State Stars in Durban at the weekend.

It was Chiefs’ fourth consecutive draw.

In seven games that were played this weekend, only one team won, and six were drawn.

Komphela had this to say after Chiefs failed to register a win at home.

“I don’t know if you read one of the Pirates coach’s reports this week, and the one he pulled was that he’s been in 138 countries and in those countries‚ he’s never seen a poorer goal scoring return like he has in South Africa. I’m not trying to bring South Africa’s problems into Kaizer Chiefs, but that’s exactly what he’s saying. You can never get tired when you’re working on something. It’s better when you can see the problem so you can provide solutions. Some will tell you that goal scorers are born but if you spend £50 million on Didier Drogba‚ that tells how desperate you are to find a goal scorer. If you wait for the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to come‚ it tells you how scarce goal scorers are. You have to keep working with the goal scorers that you have from every perspective.”
