‘Prodigal Son’ Molangoane urges Chiefs to keep winning against Arrows
Joseph Molangoane, who celebrated his return to Kaizer Chiefs with a goal over the weekend, has urged the team to continue its winning ways against Golden Arrows at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban, on Wednesday (kick-off 6pm).
Molangoane made only 20 appearances last season and only recently started to play recently for Chiefs due to a contractual dispute with his former club, Chippa United, followed by a disciplinary process with the PSL.
Molangoane has since made his debut for the Glamour Boys and is happy that he is contributing towards the success of the team.
“I really missed it (when I was out),” he commented. “I had a really tough period this year and I went through some really difficult moments, but I am so happy to be over that and playing once again.
“I don’t know how to describe it, just being a part of Kaizer Chiefs is a great feeling and scoring on Sunday (against Polokwane City) was just a cherry on top.”
‘Tight’ (Molangoane’s nickname) had made just two substitute appearance this season heading into the Polokwane City match, and learnt a lot from studying games from the bench and finally put that to good use when finally given a chance by coach Steve Komphela.
However, the speedy winger credits the team effort for Chiefs’ winning performance and wants the team to continue in that very same attitude heading into the team’s next match.
“I just watch the game and things come to my head naturally – things that I believe we can do better or things we are having trouble with, weaknesses of the other team or if we are having a few problems and I have taken that and used it when given a chance yesterday and some worked,” he says.
“The team as a whole came together at the weekend and that enabled us to win it. Going to Durban to face Golden Arrows means it’s important that we start from where we finished off and get more points before the Christmas break.”
