Posted in News on Jan 17, 2012.

Head Coach, Vladimir Vermezovic expressed his satisfaction with the condition of the players as they reported back on Monday, 16 January 2012 following a Christmas break.

The Glamour Boys will play their first game in February 15, 2012 when they visit Jomo Cosmos at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

“I was pleased with all the players as they followed the training programme that was handed to them before the festive break. They are all motivated at training.

“All the players except Reneilwe (Letsholonyane) & Jimmy Tau reported for training on Monday. Siphiwe Tshabalala, even though he trained on Monday, has an eye infection. He should be fine soon. It was good to see Itu (Itumeleng Khune) and (Lawrence) Molekwane back doing full training with the team following their long lay off.

As I have said previously; the second half of the season will be very interesting. Ours is to ensure that we focus on our preparations. We still believe that we are on the right track in meeting our objectives this season. We are all gearing up for what promises to be an interesting second half of the season."

Vermezovic revealed that the team will be looking at organising friendly games to intensify the preparations for the second round; “In the next couple of days we will be finalising our plans. It is important that we play as many friendly matches as we can - sometimes twice a day."

Chiefs currently lying 3rd behind Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United; “Our preparations are not only focused on the game against Cosmos in the 15th February, but the league programme and the Nedbank Cup."
