The story of Kaizer Chiefs, penalties, and red cards this season is well documented, and their head coach, Arthur Zwane feels like it is becoming personal.
Zwane feels like the colour of his skin might have something to do with everyone on his team's back about penalties and red cards.
I don't know about the colour of Zwane's skin and penalties. Is there some kind of broad-based black empowerment thing going on? Only Mangethe knows what he meant.
Anyway, the issue here is that Zwane is tired of this old story, why would people complain about his team getting the decisions they deserve from referees?
"I clearly don’t understand it. Why don’t people look at the positives rather than focus more on the negatives?" asked Zwane as quoted by Times Live. https://www.timeslive.co.za/sport/soccer/2023-04-05-is-it-the-colour-of-my-skin-chiefs-coach-zwane-on-questions-about-penalties/
"You know sometimes certain things you don’t understand. Maybe it’s because the colour of my skin.
"We played against Richards Bay early in the season in Durban and got a red card [against Chiefs] but we won 1-0. When we got a red card the score was 0-0. Why don’t people mention that."
Other teams do play against 10 man too!
"Last night [Tuesday] Mamelodi Sundowns’ opposition [Cape Town City] received a red card and with all the quality they have, they had an advantage for 18 minutes. You must have seen how City defended when they were one man down.
"When you have the advantage, people think you have already won the game. In fact it becomes more dangerous because you think you have the advantage of an extra player, but the other team double if not triple their efforts."
Should a blatant foul be ignored just because it will 'benefit' Amakhosi?
"If a goalkeeper handles the ball outside his area then what do you call it? I wouldn’t want to dwell too much on this because everyone has their own view. But if you go through all those challenges, we were playing against teams that knew they couldn’t match Kaizer Chiefs in open play.

"I can count how many games where I said [before the opposition were a man down] they wouldn’t have an attempt on goal against us.
"I understand what people are saying but I would also say they can do their own homework and maybe watch all those games and actually review them."
