Chiefs’ Rushwin Dortley Talks About Their Focus on Winning Every Match and Climbing the Table to Achieve Their League Ambitions

Kaizer Chiefs Still Eyeing League Glory

Kaizer Chiefs haven’t given up on their Betway Premiership title hopes just yet, despite trailing behind Mamelodi Sundowns in the standings.

Rushwin Dortley, a key player for the team, has opened up about their ongoing ambition and the mindset driving them forward this season.

Even though they are currently far behind, Dortley believes there’s still a chance to make a strong comeback.

Chiefs’ Challenge: Climbing Up the Table

At the moment, Chiefs find themselves in fifth place with 22 points from 16 matches.

They’re sitting 17 points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and 11 points adrift of second-placed Orlando Pirates. While the road ahead is tough, Dortley remains hopeful and confident that the team can turn things around.

A Season of Redemption for Chiefs

After a disastrous 2023 season, where they finished in 10th place—one of their worst in recent memory—Chiefs are looking to bounce back.

The underwhelming performance last year led to the departure of caretaker coach Cavin Johnson.

However, the appointment of Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi seems to be sparking a fresh sense of hope.

Dortley acknowledges the rocky start but is determined to keep the team focused on improving and climbing up the league table.

“Winning Every Game is Our Priority”

Dortley shared the team’s mindset for the rest of the season, emphasizing their main focus: winning each match.

He stressed that collecting full points in every remaining fixture is vital to improving their position.

“We aim to win every game and gather maximum points to push up the table,” he told the club’s website.

“Our goal is to keep fighting for the league, but if that doesn’t happen, we want to finish in the top three and secure a place in next season’s CAF competition.

We want to represent this great club on the continent again.”

Must-Win Match Ahead

The next big test for Kaizer Chiefs is their crucial match against Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.

After a frustrating 1-1 draw with AmaZulu on Tuesday, the team is desperate for a win to stay in the race for the title and their continental ambitions.

With Dortley and the squad motivated for a redemption season, fans are eager to see if Chiefs can rally and make a strong push for the top spots in the league.

Stay tuned as they continue to chase their dreams of league glory.
