Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo has dismissed the widely held perception the club is relying too much on younger players such as Mduduzi Shabalala, Mfundo Vilakazi and Wandile Duba.
Shabalala, Vilakazi, Duba and, to a lesser extent Samkelo Zwane, have seen regular action under coach Nasreddine Nabi and a certain section of Amakhosi supporters argue the club relies heavily on them .
Amakhosi have stuttered out of the blocks in the Betway Premiership and after 14 matches they have played so far, they are in fifth spot with 21 points and have a mountain to climb before they can vie with the top teams.
Khumalo, who was also thrown into the deep end as a teenager in the eighties, said the younger players must take the opportunity to grow and gain experience.
“The technical team are fielding the younger players and it looks like they are putting pressure on them. But why would you think they are putting pressure on them? If that’s the case why did they do that to me,” he said.
