Msimango Believes Polokwane Double-header Can Spark Chiefs Into Life

Kaizer Chiefs defender Given Msimango believes that playing two matches in quick succession this week could help the team gain the momentum needed to improve their season. Chiefs have only played seven games across all competitions in the past two and a half months due to international breaks, providing coach Nabi time to implement his tactics since joining ahead of the current season. However, the team is now in need of a consistent run of matches.

Chiefs will play Richards Bay on Wednesday and then face Royal AM on Saturday at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. After failing to win in their last three league games, Chiefs are eager to regain their form. Msimango, who will start his second match of the season, will fill in for the suspended Angolan defender Inacio Miguel. This comes after Msimango played 30 matches last season across all competitions.

At 27 years old, Msimango acknowledges the challenges of being out of regular play but emphasizes the importance of staying ready for opportunities. He explained that not playing affects his sharpness and requires extra effort to stay at his best. Despite the mixed results so far this season, Chiefs have enjoyed strong support from packed crowds, which is expected to continue during their matches in Polokwane.
