Coach Cavin Johnson Promises More Playtime for Teen Star Mfundo Vilakazi


Kaizer Chiefs Coach Cavin Johnson Commits to Giving Teen Mfundo Vilakazi More Playtime

Kaizer Chiefs coach Cavin Johnson has announced that teenage midfielder Mfundo Vilakazi will see more action on the field. The 18-year-old, who signed a senior contract earlier this season, has played in four matches but has yet to score.

 

Vilakazi's Growing Role

Johnson believes that Vilakazi, known by fans as "Obrigado," has a deep love for football and deserves more opportunities to showcase his talent. With the team aiming for a top-eight finish, Johnson sees Vilakazi as a valuable asset in achieving this goal.

 

Fans Demand More Playtime

Amakhosi supporters have been vocal on social media, urging the coach to give Vilakazi more starting chances. Many believe that his skills could make him a standout player for the team.

 

Positive and Critical Fan Reactions

Supportive Comments:

"Mfundo Vilakazi needs to start a match. We could see more at Kaizer Chiefs," says SJ Dlamini.

"Given a chance, he will be the South African Ronaldinho," praises Macingwane Sabzero Mchunu.

Critical Views:

"I see nothing special here. Average player," comments Syah Ka Mthuyi Blose.

 

Apology for On-Field Gesture

Vilakazi recently apologized for a rude gesture he made during a match against SuperSport United. The incident, which occurred during Kaizer Chiefs’ 2-1 victory, was settled amicably with the affected player, Lyle Lakay, who accepted the apology.

 

Conclusion

With two games left in the season, all eyes will be on Mfundo Vilakazi as he gets more chances to prove his worth. Fans and the team alike hope to see the young midfielder shine and help lead Kaizer Chiefs to success.
