Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic has set his sights on scoring in every match, saying he’s left frustrated when he doesn’t find the back of the net.
The 27-year-old has already managed to score 11 goals and assist a further two from 19 appearances across all competitions for Amakhosi so far this season.
The Serbian, who failed to score during Chiefs’ 1-0 victory over Golden Arrows this past weekend, is currently two goals behind the current top-scorer, Orland Pirates forward Gabadinho Mhango.
Nurkovic is eager to match his tally of 23 goals in 28 games, which he produced at his previous club, Serbian side KFC Komarno.
‘Yes, my job as a striker is to score as much as possible goals in every game. Personally, I’m not happy when I don’t score in a game,’ Nurkovic was quoted by Sowetan Live.
‘Before every game, I set my mind that I have to score and help the team and contribute to victory.
‘In 28 games I scored 23 goals and had five assists for my previous team last season. Of course, I would like to score as much as possible this season.
‘However, it is very important that the team is winning even if I’m not scoring.’
Kaizer Chiefs will be hoping to continue their winning ways when they take on Royal Eagles in the Nedbank Cup round of 32 on 8 February.
