Vusumuzi Vilakazi is the Chippa United coach. He has stressed that a strong defensive structure, as well as improving their conversion rates are important to improve the team. Vilakazi’s team suffered a 3-0 loss to AmaZulu during his first match at Chippa. The Chilli Boys remained at the bottom of table as a result. Buffalo is preparing to welcome Magesi City Vilakazi believes that the team will soon turn the corner.“First thing I must say and admit is that it’s a work in progress. I think we need to be honest with ourselves,” Vilakazi said.“There were a lot of problems, and you can’t rectify everything overnight. But in this game you can only take the positives from the last match.“What is important is to make sure that we align the psychological aspects of the players.“As I have said, I don’t think that the players can be bad overnight. They cannot. So we just need to work on their minds in terms of believing in themselves and trusting the process.“So that we can start generating the results. But that is happening. It might be slow, but surely it will give us the fruits very soon.”Vilakazi said his team would do everything possible to get a good result tonight in order to close the gap with Magesi. Only three points separate Chippa from Magesi, and Stellenbosch is the relegation area. A win will tie them on nine points.“We took positives out of that game, and we will work on the weaknesses we have going into our game against Magesi,” He said.“We will definitely fight and try to redeem ourselves because we are the ones who put ourselves in these situations. No one else can take us out. We need to do that ourselves.“The boys have to dig deep. We will try to be victorious on Tuesday.”AmaZulu, Polokwane; Chippa, Magesi and Buffalo are all scheduled to play tonight at 7.30pm.
