Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Gaston Sirino admits it’s a “big responsibility” to play for Amakhosi following his impressive display in the Carling Knockout Cup.

The Uruguayan got his name on the scoresheet as Chiefs secured a commanding 4-0 victory over SuperSport United in the Carling Knockout Cup last 16.

As a result, the Glamour Boys have now secured their place in the quarter-finals where they are scheduled to face Mamelodi Sundowns in what is expected to be a mouth-watering fixture.

Sirino wants to see his side continue their current form and maintain a winning mentality heading into their next fixture.

“It is a big responsibility to play for Chiefs, but I am very happy to be here to help the team,” Sirino told SuperSport TV after the match.

“I also think the change in mentality is a positive for us, to (look to) win every game. In the last game against Sundowns, we should have scored more goals (Chiefs lost 2-1 to Masandawana at FNB Stadium in the Betway Premiership).

“But that is football, now we must recover for another game against SuperSport.

“It was a very difficult game, SuperSport played very well in the first 30 minutes … it was difficult, but our team played well after the first goal. We need to push, Chiefs are a big club and we need to win every game.”
