Kaizer Chiefs defender Edmilson Dove has admitted that the team has failed to honour their promises to fans a number of times.

Chiefs have been inconsistent this season, with 10 league defeats despite making a number of changes to the squad and appointing Nasreddine Nabi as the head coach.

“Sometimes we make promises that we are not able to fulfil but I think we need to do better in the coming games and make sure we collect as many maximum points as possible,” said Dove in a press conference.

Dove expressed frustration at seeing rivals Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates succeed while Kaizer Chiefs underperform, emphasising that AmaKhosi should be competing for the top spot.

The defender admitted his desire to win trophies motivated his move to Kaizer Chiefs, and he’s frustrated that hasn’t happened yet.

“Not only for them [their supporters] but for us [as players] as well, it’s frustrating, but not looking at what others [Sundowns and Pirates] are doing, but for us…looking at ourselves, I think this club deserves to be at the top,” he added.

“We have failed a couple of times…I came here myself because I want to win trophies, this is a club that can give you that.

“Having a feeling that you haven’t done what you were called for, it’s quite frustrating but we can only look forward and move on. This is not a team to be fighting for top eight or top four. Chiefs deserve to be at the top.”
