Gaston Sirino compares squad depth as he explains how Kaizer Chiefs lack backup players in key positions unlike Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa

Kaizer Chiefs player Gaston Sirino, who previously played for Mamelodi Sundowns, recently opened up about the stark differences between the two clubs.

As a 34-year-old Uruguayan attacker, Sirino has experienced the unique atmospheres and challenges of both teams and shared some interesting insights on the matter.

The Challenge of Fewer Players at Kaizer Chiefs

One of the most significant differences Sirino noticed at Kaizer Chiefs compared to Sundowns is the depth of the squads.

Sirino explained that Chiefs has fewer players, which can sometimes be felt when key players are unavailable.

“At Chiefs, there aren’t too many players, but at Sundowns, there are many good players,” Sirino noted.

This lack of depth at Chiefs becomes especially evident when injuries affect the squad.

For example, when defender Inacio Miguel was sidelined, Chiefs had to rely on Bradley Cross to fill in as a centre-back, highlighting the team’s reliance on a smaller pool of talent.

Sundowns Boasts a Larger Pool of Quality Players

In contrast, Sirino praised the depth of talent at Sundowns, saying that the team is well-stocked in every position.

“There is too much quality at Sundowns,” he remarked, noting how Sundowns always has top-quality players to step in when others are unavailable.

He pointed out that while Chiefs have quality players, the sheer volume of talent at Sundowns gives them a significant advantage in terms of flexibility and backup options.

Sirino and Chiefs Prepare for the Big Match

Currently, Sirino and his Kaizer Chiefs teammates are gearing up for what could be the biggest game of their season – the Nedbank Cup final against their fierce Soweto rivals, Orlando Pirates.

The highly anticipated match is set to take place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00.

As both clubs prepare for the showdown, the outcome will undoubtedly have a major impact on the current season and the future of both teams.

Fans and experts alike are eager to see who will emerge victorious.
