Kaizer Chiefs were dismal in front of goal last season but the solution to that problem doesn’t necessarily lie in the transfer market. Kaizer Chiefs can’t score goals Goals are the most important currency in the beautiful game. Chiefs only scored 25 of them in 30 league encounters last season, a truly dismal record.
We all know what the major problem is, but solving it is another issue entirely. Cohesion, chemistry & combinations Teams with a good collective dynamic tend to score goals from all over the pitch. In the new 2024-2025 Premier League season, Arsenal have scored four goals from their opening two games, both 2-0 wins.
The goal-scorers have been Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey. Saka and Trossard are wingers, Partey is a central midfielder and Havertz is used in a number 9 role but he’s by no means a conventional striker. At Chiefs, you get the feeling that several talented footballers are working on their wavelength, rather than with another.
Nothing changes if everything stays the same Is it time to try out a new system? The 3-5-2 has often been adopted by Orlando Pirates with some great success in recent seasons. Jose Riveiro knows he needs to select his best players, and it turns out that Pirates have amazing depth in central defence. Three at the back doesn’t automatically mean a team plays conservative football.
It just means they’re getting all their best personnel into the starting XI and making the necessary tweaks. Chi.
