Captain Khune: Kaizer Chiefs need to believe

Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune says some of the club's players are yet to 'come out of their shells' after an indifferent start to the 2022/23 DStv Premiership season.

Amakhosi are in 14th place on the current league standings with just two wins from their opening seven games.

They have drawn their last two ties, 0-0 with AmaZulu and 1-1 with Marumo Gallants.

Next up for Chiefs is a home clash with sixth-placed SuperSport United.

Khune said on iDiski Times: "It's affecting me badly because every player has his role and responsibility to play in making sure the club goes back to the glory days.

"But like I said, for now...a lot of us. I think we are still, I don't know whether to call it starstruck, or we don't believe we are finally playing for Kaizer Chiefs.

"We haven't come out of our shells yet. So that's something we need to do, realise that we are the Kaizer Chiefs and start performing like a Kaizer Chiefs player.

"The fans demand results, they demand consistency, it's something we need to realise and improve on as individuals."
