JOHANNESBURG. — Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Khama Billiat has assured fans they will continue to fight until they start grinding out positive results in the South African Premier Soccer League.

The 31-year-old Zimbabwean midfielder believes the Soweto-based giants will soon start to pick up positive results after a disastrous start, to the new campaign

Amakhosi are placed 12thon the 16-team table with six points from six matches.

The Soweto-based outfit have lost four matches in this campaign and managed only one win.

Ahead of their league match at FNB Stadium today, against Chippa United, Billiat has called on the club’s fans to continue supporting them.

“Definitely, it is not the way we wanted to start but we feel like we are working on things that need to stay with us and the only unfortunate part is that we have not been getting the maximum results that we work for. “I personally feel good we are able to keep the ball longer, we are able to find each other on the pitch, we are able to move as a team.

“We just need to step up, as strikers, to give the team a little bit more to score goals and make sure we always put our team on a comfortable situation during the game.

“You know it is not easy to play with a 1-0 lead or 1-0 down, or at 0-0 result, but if you score more, then you give the team confidence so we can try to protect what we have. But, it is a process, we are feeling good, we are soldiers, we are going to hang on, keep on digging and we will get it right.”

On coming up against Chippa, Billiat said: “We have to shift the focus now, it is not going to be easy, the weekend is going to be another big fight.

“We just going to make sure we stick to our game plan and we believe in our game plan and I think it is that time now we start to get those little things that make the difference like scoring more goals and defending our goal as a team, going forward as a team and just be on top of our game.”

They now face their former coach, Gavin Hunt, who left the club towards the end of last season.

“It is not going to be easy especially playing coach Gavin since he used to be here and he knows every individual player at Chiefs and, as well as his experience, so it is not going to be easy. — Goal.com.
