Khune puts on brave face, seeks to inspire Chiefs against Downs

Kaizer Chiefs will have to be extremely bold when they take the pitch at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening to face Mamelodi Sundowns. The game is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.

This is because they face a team that has proven to be unbeatable and enjoys hammering other major teams, particularly in their own backyard.

Furthermore, the Chiefs are coming off a disappointing loss to AmaZulu FC last weekend, which would have harmed their confidence a little.

In such conditions, a leader like Itumeleng Khune is required. The veteran Amakhosi goalkeeper has raised his hand to deflect criticism and protect his younger teammates.

“To be honest, football is a team sport,” Khune stated this week.
