ZWANE ON BIMENYIMANA: ‘I BELIEVE IN HIM’

“To be a coach you have to be a leader and you have to believe in your players,” Zwane said as per Kaizer Chiefs’ website.

“They know that I believe in them. In many ways, football is a game of mistakes. Every player makes mistakes and I always remind them not to focus on their mistakes but rather focus on the good things that can get the best out of them.

“That’s why I encouraged him because when a player out on the field looks at the bench and sees that maybe I doubt his ability that will kill his confidence as well, so I have to lift him up.

“Caleb is giving us a different dimension. He is very quick and explosive to attack the near post. We need that type of striker and that’s why we had to take our time in terms of bringing someone in and make sure that when we brought him in we had to complement him so he can fit into the way we play.

“Obviously, we had to profile him properly and be sure of the way he could help us. I always knew he was going to score goals for us.”
