Junior Khanye says he remains one of Kaizer Chiefs’ most passionate fans and his harsh criticism of Naturena’s side is motivated by the immense love he still has for his former employers.
Khanye has been one of the fiercest critics of the Chiefs in recent months, especially of the highly polarizing coach Ernst Middendorp, and was vindicated a few days ago when the stifling club failed to win a Premiership title race they had led for most of the campaign. .
The former Chiefs midfielder said that although he has stood his ground since the start of the season in August last year and maintained that the Middendorp charges would not win the title on their 50th anniversary under the reviled German mentor, his heart still belongs to the long time from Kaizer Motaung. suffering charges.
“I am still a Kaizer Chiefs fan, from the bottom of my heart,” he said.
“But when there’s a problem, I can’t camouflage it. The structure is dead there. [at Kaizer Chiefs], not the coach.
“Okay coach [Middendorp] it’s dead and that’s the truth, but the structure is [also] dead. The structure is dead. “
Khanye said some people greatly misinterpret his harsh criticism and that fans who have viewed him negatively have viewed his views as sour grapes when all he wanted to do was share his love for the club.
“I know some people were angry because I started saying this last year in October [when Kaizer Chiefs were still top of the standings],” he said.
“I said it last year [in October] that these people [Chiefs] I wouldn’t win the league. “
Khanye said he never had faith in Middendorp after seeing the way he instructed his Chiefs players to play and knew the bubble would soon burst.
“People thought he was crazy and I understood why viewers did not see what I saw,” he said.
“But I knew that the way this guy [Middendorp] I was winning, you can’t play all your balls in the air
“All the balls in the air belong to all of us and we own them. There are no special players there. [at Chiefs], there is no hunger. Talent is not enough and that club is not AmaZulu.
“There is too much pressure there. You need players, greats, specials who have a big heart.
“Not everyone can play. You are born to play. So I had to tell the truth because let’s face it, I’m known through the Kaizer Chiefs. Let’s be honest, you know me through the Kaizer Chiefs.
“You know me because Kaizer Chiefs, that’s why I feel the pain. I’m open, I’m not going to lie.”
