Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp believes he has been tactically flexible in his 25 years as a coach, writes DYLAN APPOLIS.

The Glamour Boys came from one-goal down to secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Cape Town City at Newlands Stadium on Tuesday night.

Amakhosi have now maintained their unbeaten run in the Absa Premiership and currently sit at the top of the Absa Premiership standings with 10 points after four matches played.

Middendorp believes that things could turn out differently for his side this campaign compared to last season.

‘I have been tactically flexible in the 25 years that I have been coaching‚ and that is something that I have always been asking for from my players – being flexible‚ being able to play different positions. We had tried something similar last season but it didn’t work,’ Middendorp said.

‘Now we have the material to adapt to what we want to do tactically. We are working on flexibility, and to get all the players able to take different roles in the field.’

Kaizer Chiefs will be back in action when they welcome Polokwane City to the FNB Stadium on 14 September with kick off set for 6pm.
