Vladimir Vermezovic Still Getting Used To Kaizer Chiefs FansAhead of this weekend’s crunch League game against Mamelodi Sundowns, the Chiefs' coach admits he is still getting used to the demands of the club’s fans.
The Amakhosi had a slow start to the season, but successive wins against Jomo Cosmos and Ajax Cape Town have brought the smiles back to the supporters’ faces.
Coach, Vladimir Vermezovic won’t go as far as to say his team has turned the corner, but insists they must continue to keep the fans happy.
“All I can say is that my players know we must continue to fight,” he says in the latest edition of KICK OFF magazine.
“What we want to see is our supporters being happy with our game, not necessarily the result. The supporters are very, very … they are very sensitive!
“Sometimes after we win, they are not satisfied with our game – I mean, the way we played – and sometimes we lose – they are satisfied! So based on that, we must play and play well all the time to make sure they are happy, but not forgetting that we must get the results.”
Vermezovic has also urged young Zimbabwean striker, Knowledge Musona to remain patient and wait for his chance, despite netting a hat-trick in this past weekend’s 3-1 Macufe Cup win against Bloemfontein Celtic.
“In my experience I know it is not good to play youngsters like him when there was so much pressure [at the start of the season]. He must wait, be patient and continue to work at training.
“Each time he comes on he brings something and I believe his future is in Europe. I was 19 at some point and I know how difficult it is to wait for your chance, but he must be patient.”
