Itumeleng Khune’s message touched the hearts of Amakhosi fans. This message from Amakhosi captain shows that Khune is a true leader and no one can replace him easily and if one day he retires ,fans will miss him big time.
Kaizer Chiefs is still on top of the psl log with four points but the second guys on the psl log Mamelodi Sundowns have a game in hand but still that does not mean they are going to win that game or they are going to lose it.
A game in hand is good but you cannot count it as points already because you will never know what will happen in that game. Remember that teams like SuperSport United , Orlando Pirates and Maritzburg United also stand a chance to challenge for the Premier League tittle.

How many games each team play in psl
The table above shows us that there are 16 teams in the psl (South African Premier Soccer League) right? Let us say you are your team then you remain with 15 other teams which you have to play two times home game and the away game.
That means you are going to play 15 home games and 15 away games right? then 15 plus 15 simple mathematics gives us 30 games. Each team in the psl plays 30 games.
How many games left for Kaizer Chiefs in psl?
The table shows us that Kaizer Chiefs have played already 22 games, so that means Kaizer Chiefs are left with 8 games in the psl and if they will all of them no mater what happens with Mamelodi Sundowns and other teams Amakhosi will take the league.
Itumeleng Khune’s message touched the hearts of Amakhosi fans
“You are the driving force behind this team and we will miss you cheering us up when the league restarts,” Khune told Chiefs’ official website.
“However, we still want to make you proud and you will be that pillar of strength for us. We are at present in the number one spot and we don’t want to disappoint you when we go past the finish line.”
Itumeleng Khune’s words proves that he is more than a leader and I believe most of his teammates at Kaizer Chiefs they respect him for that.
Is Akpeyi married a threat to Itumeleng Khune?
I really do not think Khune has any threat at Kaizer Chiefs. The reason why some people think like that is that because ever since coach Ernst Middendorp came to Kaizer Chiefs Akpeyi started getting more game time.
So this fooled a lot of people but to be honest all these two goalkeepers are world class keepers. If it comes to leadership Itumeleng Khune is more gifted than his counterpart Daniel Akpeyi. Remember that is my opinion do not get me wrong I can not speak for everyone.
Every coach does things differently , you can see that also Billiat Khama is not getting enough game time as he used to get under Pitso Mosimane. Look at Bale at Real Madrid , Zidane does not give him enough game time.
This has triggered anger towards the coach , some of his fans especially in his home country thinking that maybe he just don’t like him but that is not the case.
Once Walesonline wrote “It’s clear Bale has now been completely ostracised by manager Zinedine Zidane after playing no part in Madrid’s final seven matches and starting just one game in 11 since football returned in June.”
Football pundit Danny Murphy said: “I’d be saying to him, ‘go play mate. Just enjoy it. Go somewhere you enjoy it’.
“We can talk to Madrid and they might have to pay you half to get you gone but they’ll do that anyway because they’re saving half. There has to be a way out.
“I think the one place for Gareth is Tottenham. He’s loved there already and he’s got the fans on board.
“Could he find a way of going back there? That for me would be great for Tottenham. “Even if it’s for two or three years, go back to where you made yourself, enjoy yourself and help Tottenham get back to being competitive.”
To me I believe some players are being left out because they do not suit the coach’s combination but to fans it looks different. Remember most fans never played professional soccer that is why they take things personal.
Why players do not leave the team if the coach do not favor them ?
There is only one answer to that “money” , If you know how much Gareth Bale gets a week you would say to him please stay there even if you do not play. Also Itumeleng Khune and Khama Billiat are on high salary.
- Gareth Bale’s salary is £600,000 a week before tax
- Khama Billiat’s salary is R830, 000 a month
- Khama Billiat’s salary is R480,000 a month
If the above mentioned players one is your relative, would you tell him to leave the club for a new club which could not even afford to pay him that much or you would tell him to stay and make money ?
Most footballers come from poor backgrounds so most of their family members would advice them to stay because football is a very short career.
