Thabo Cele, the Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, expressed his contentment in returning to the team but voiced concerns about his recent contributions. Cele, who has spent a significant portion of the season sidelined due to injury, made his comeback late in the campaign.
The former Bafana Bafana international aims to play a vital role for Amakhosi as they strive to secure a strong finish in the league, targeting the third spot. “Of course, like I said, me as an individual also it’s not been easy because you want to reach a certain level and a certain standard,” said Cele.
He acknowledged the challenges of returning after a lengthy absence, stating, “But when things are not working out for you, you need to remain calm and just keep on working like what I’ve been doing.” Cele emphasized the mental aspect of the game, noting, “So that’s what I’ve been trying to do and I’m still at it, you know what I mean.”
As Kaizer Chiefs prepare to face Sekhukhune United at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, Cele is expected to play a crucial role in midfield. The match is set to kick off at 3 PM.
