'Everyone can now compete with Chiefs,' says Zwane as Amakhosi's struggles continue

“We don't want to lose games at all. We don't want to create that chain of losing because it kills our morale. We'll try to stop it.

“We have to keep on helping the players not to lose focus. Not that they're not doing well. I would panic if we were not doing well in terms of playing. We've been unfortunate not to score goals.

“Even in the last game [Sundowns] we played we created six or seven chances through the pressure we applied. Not many teams will do that against Sundowns where you pressed and forced them to make mistakes. But we were not clinical enough to take those chances.”

Zwane will go into Royal's game hoping new striker, Democratic Republic of the Congo-born Christian Saile Basomboli they signed from Zambian club Nchanga Rangers last week would have received his work permit and be ready to play.

“We want him to settle as soon as possible. He's that type of striker that you need when you want to play a high-pressing game. I don't want to put him under pressure but he's expected to score goals.”
