Kazé highlighted Chiefs’ league-leading stats in shots, dribbles, crosses, and clean sheets, noting they’re sixth with 30 points from 18 games and two matches in hand. He dismissed panic over one bad month after seven strong ones, setting a top-three finish as a huge benchmark no coach has hit in a decade.
Fans mocked the ‘PowerPoint defense’ online with memes and counter-stats on weak goals scored, while Kazé urged focus on process ahead of Sunday’s must-win against Durban City.
