Kaizer Chiefs’ poor run of form is cause for concern, admitted coach Giovanni Solinas as AmaKhosi were beaten in the Soweto derby by arch rivals Orlando Pirates.
It was a fourth match without victory for the club and saw them drop to fifth in the standings with just 14 points from 11 games.
“I agree that in the last games we haven’t collected points and that is not good enough for Kaizer Chiefs.
“But, in my opinion, we have the potential to win several matches in a row. There is no reason we cannot we win three, four or five games in a row. This is such a balanced league that if you do that you go right up the table,” Solinas told the post-match press conference.
“We will continue fighting and trying to put Chiefs in a high position on the log.
“But the current position is no good for us. I believe are able to win three or four games (in a row) and the league is a long way from being over. The season only ends in May.”
He said players needed to show more character. “To play for Kaizer Chiefs is not easy. It is a big, big club and you need to stay strong mentally. We need to develop a winning mentality and to learn to manage the pressure.”
“But we work hard, we are not sleeping. Every day we are working hard to improve and to take Chiefs up into the position Kaizer Chiefs deserves. In the future, I’m sure we’ll be there,” Solinas added.
The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
