Arthur Zwane: We shouldn’t worry about what Sundowns are doing.

Mamelodi Sundowns and their dominance of local football, which has seen them wrap up their sixth league title in a row, is non of Kaizer Coach, Arthur Zwane's concern.

The Amakhosi mentor, who has endured a testing season, with his side's lack of consistency, which led to the team's supporters calling for his sacking, says Chiefs are running their own race, without obsessing about catching up with Downs.

"We’re doing things gradually, we’re looking at things differently, why I say differently… because the game has changed, you know? Right now we have to look at ourselves, we shouldn’t worry about what Sundowns are doing," Zwane said as quoted by iDiski Times. https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/dstv-premiership/zwane-touches-on-transfer-plans-for-next-season/

"Yes it’s a fact Sundowns are doing well, but if we were to focus on Sundowns and not focus on what we can do right to take the team back to where it belongs, it would be the biggest mistake that we can make."

Not worrying about Sundowns' success, and focusing on gradually improving Amakhosi's fortunes, seems to be working for Zwane at the moment.

Chiefs are on a six match winning streak across competitions, something that looked like nothing but a distant dream for the club not so long ago.

While they are in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals, their last opportunity at winning a trophy this season, Chiefs are also gunning for the Caf Champions League spot.

Perhaps, what should be more encouraging for Zwane, besides his side's strong finish to the season, is the type of signings the club has made.

Chiefs, in all honesty, lacked a strong spine this season, the center of their defence has been a disaster, and the reason why they lost or drew matches they should have won.

The arrival of Thatayaone Ditlhokwe and Given Msimango, will ensure that Zwane has less sleepless nights next season.

While the addition of Mduduzi Mdantsane is welcome in the attacking/creative midfield role, Chiefs will do well to find a defensive midfielder who is willing to get dirty in their engine room.

As for hopes of catching up with Downs, Chiefs, as Zwane is well aware, are a season or two away from that, and patience, both with the coach, and the process, will be key.
