Kaizer Chiefs striker Lazarus Kambole says he is feeling good to be in training ahead of the resumption of the South Africa Premier Soccer League on August 8th.
The 26-year-old is overcome with joy to be back with his teammates in training after a long break from football due to the Coronavirus epidemic.
“We are doing well as a team and personally, I feel good. Training has been fantastic this week and I am very much enjoying being back,” Kambole told the clubs official website
“It’s good to be back – we missed football. I missed my teammates, so it’s good to be around them again. It’s fantastic to be doing what we enjoy and that is playing football.”
Kambole says he is putting in a lot of work in training as a player and Kaizer Chiefs as a team is preparing hard to make sure they are ready for the return of the PSL on 8th August.
“My body is managing with the training regime since we returned. I am happy with my fitness because even during the lockdown when we were training on our own, we were pushing ourselves hard. Training as a group was a challenge for the first week after we returned, but right now, I am happy with everything,” he said.
“I am putting in a lot of hard work looking and forward to resuming play again. As a team, we are on the right track and we are doing a lot to ensure that we will be ready when we play our first game.”
The former Zesco United forward says now he has gotten used to the Coach’s philosophy and now understands things better.
“We are professionals and we know how to handle the challenges that lie ahead. Being the log leaders requires a lot of hard work from the team because the pressure is on us. Response from each player is good and we are working in the right direction and I am certain we will continue from where we left off before the lockdown,” he said.
“It has been a season of adaptation for me. I have gotten used to the coach’s philosophy, the environment, the style of play, and have a better understanding of my teammates. We are headed in the right direction,” he added.
Chiefs currently lead the standing and the Glamour Boys will be looking to continue leading the charge when the Absa Premiership resumes in eleven days’ time and they have eight more league games to play in the 2019-20 season.
