The guy is a typical Cape Town winger whereby he\u2019s more of a crosser,\u201d Khanye said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idiskitimes.co.za\/betway-premiership\/khanye-gives-candid-verdict-of-abrahams-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\">as per iDiskiTimes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the second half, Kaizer Chiefs had ball possession they should have scored a lot of goals, but a cross is anybody\u2019s ball. It seems like it was the instruction of the coach when he put him in to play crosses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t watched him a lot at his previous club, but I saw him today and he wanted to cross every ball he received. And who was he crossing to, Duba in the box. They lack a natural number 10, someone who can carry the team. They lack a wing-forward that will cut in and go on to score goals. Sometimes you don\u2019t have to cross.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to take responsibility, and I understand he plays under instructions but sometimes players are the coach on the field. These are professional players, if they say cross and you are not looking who\u2019s in the box and there\u2019s Duba alone against four tall people. It showed that the coach believes in crosses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Chiefs star Junior Khanye has given his thoughts on Faiz Abrahams&#8217; debut for the Soweto giants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1981,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[55,57],"class_list":["post-1980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-betway-premiership","tag-kaizer-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
