“The supporters lift our game,” Teenage Hadebe reflects on the great atmosphere at FNB Stadium during last Saturday’s clash against Cape Town City. “It’s great to see them attend our home matches in great numbers and stand vocally behind the team.”
The Zimbabwean defender has done great since making his Kaizer Chiefs debut against AmaZulu in an Absa Premiership encounter on 22 November 2017. The clash ended in a goalless draw.
Since, Hadebe has started in another nine matches (eight league, one cup). He delivered an excellent performance against Cape Town City and seems to get better with each game.
Amakhosi beat the Citizens 1-0. “Defending is about not conceding goals,” the 22-year-old comments, “and that’s what we focus on for every game.” He also points out that Daniel Cardoso is the most vocal of the three defenders, “Daniel is the leader.”
Looking back on the Cape Town City win, he adds: “We got a lot of chances to score. We should have buried them.”
Amakhosi host Bloemfontein Celtic at FNB Stadium on Saturday, 24 February (kick-off is at 20:15). “We have a lot of respect for Celtic,” Hadebe says. “However, any team that comes to the FNB Stadium should be scared of us. We need the three points.”
Thanks to the nine-game unbeaten, which includes six wins and three draws, the Glamour Boys have moved up to second spot on the Absa Premiership log standings, just four points behind Mamelodi Sundowns.
But Hadebe prefers not to talk about the possibility of winning the league title as yet, “It’s too early to talk about that. There are still nine league matches left. We must take it one game at a time and keep focused.”
