Khune – Still loads to learn

Khune – Still loads to learn

Posted: 2009-07-27 14:18

Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune says there is still a lot he has to learn before he can be satisfied with his performance.

Despite a heroic performance against Orlando Pirates last week, and then keeping a clean-sheet against Manchester City in the Vodacom Challenge Final at Loftus Stadium on Saturday, Khune believes he is still learning.
 
“I know many have said that I have done well, but to me I am still learning,” he tells KickOff.com. “I still have to learn if I am to be regarded as one of the best or be counted among the best.
 
“But I’m still young and have age on my side. There are other elements of my game that I need to improve on before I can say I have made it. I will keep working hard and learning from the best and those around me. I want to do much better than I am currently am.”

MR EDITOR DO WE HAVE TO READ ABOUT CHIEFS IN ALMOST EVERY ARTICLE?

OK, LET ME GIVE U AN IDEA, HOW ABOUT FEATURING THE "LEAGUE CHAMPS" MORE AND LESS OF THE "PRE SEASON KINGS"

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

Moe4eva: 2009-07-27 14:31

What heroics against Bucs last week?

What about Slimkat who saved more penalties than Khune?

This piece is unneccessary to say the least, Khune is just an ordinary acrobatic keeper....Period.

I JUST WANT TO REASSURE ALL MY FANS AND SUPPORTERS THAT, THOUGH MY CAMPAIGN "STOP THIEVES/CHIEFS" HAS BEEN HAULTED BU THE RECENT SUCCESS OF CHIEFS IM STILL MOVING AHEAD WITH THE CAMPAIGN...

THIS IS THE ONLY TEAM IN THE PSL WHERE A HAND BALL IS NOT CHARGED, LIKE NTUKA'S GOAL FOR INSTANCE...I WONT REST TILL I GET THROUGH TO ALL THESE ARROGANT, CLUELESS FANS

I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT AND LEFT THIS SINKING SHIP TO JOIN ME, DANKIE

It is good to have a room of improvement as a player regardless how good you are. I like your behaviour to keep yourself low and focus on your game

Don't be jealous of the Chiefs success in the short space of time. They did very well and I am proud of them.

Khune is fast improving as a goalkeeper, but in terms of dealing with crosses (corners too) he stil has a way to go. At times he makes dubious jumps and expects a bailout from the ref,very childish and girlish. Otherwise he's good . . . oh i've observed, during VC, that he gaining some weight. That could be a problem.

Trompo: 2009-07-27 14:46

There surely is room for improvement for a goalkeeper that conceded such a lot of goal last season judging by chiefs' standards.....

Diski99: 2009-07-27 14:47

I read that Phenyo Mongala is heading to Supersport United to replace Daine Klaite. He says what motivated his decision after Pirates decided not to sign him is the fact that players from Tukkies have all had wonderful spells at Supersport United!!!

Ole(The Guru): 2009-07-27 14:52

Celtic won the Mangaung cup why dont they feature Spandeel or AK47?????????

Scorpion: 2009-07-27 14:54

Bhoza, i don't want to sound jealous. But if Chiefs are succesful as you claim then they should start competing in CAF. They've never been competitive at Champions league but they still want to be seen as formidable side globally!

Hellen Zille went on with similar campaign ‘Stop Zuma’. She wasted DA’s money with a Helicopter running around the country. Now she is begging for finance from companies while Zuma is enjoying the presidential house. U will never bring Chiefs down. Mike Mangena and his SABC crew tried, they even go as far as ****yzing yester-years games. No one will prevent us from entering the promised land, the land of trophies and moolas

KHOSI LOVER: 2009-07-27 14:57

TO MOEGOE-4-EVA and MOZWINKI, Chiefs will always set the trends and fools like u will follow. U R not FREE but DOM!! Anyway what could u write about other teams coz there is nothing 2 write about. MOZWINKI, DAAI DOMKAT ONLY SAVED 2 PENALTIES AND KHUNE SAVED CHINENE'S SPOT KICK TWICE AND TERMINATOR'S PENALTY, CLEARLY UR NOT GOOD IN COUNTING AND CLUELESS ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL GAME. IKHOSI LIYA ROCKA, PERIOD!!!!!!

Diski99: 2009-07-27 15:00

BrokeFan are you sure you are not a KC(pty)ltd employee?
You should not forget that at the end of the day it is only just a game of football!!!

Diski99: 2009-07-27 15:06

Why do people have to be emotional?
Guys you should not expect people who do NOT support your teams to be nice to your teams!!!
It is perfectly acceptable to be biased towards your team, as they say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, so we understand why you people think your favourite teams are the best.
We can tease each other but calling each other degoratory names is unacceptable.

Hehehehe, Diski99. Surely u want Chiefs to be in Charity Cup so u can get your revenge. I so wish we could stop complaining about fixture congestion. English teams more specifically the big four, play similar if not more frequent than what we will experience in the next season. I see this as an opportunity to improve as Khune says there is a load to learn. How can we compete with the best if we only get to play after a week even 2 as it was the case for other teams last season.

Mzukisi:

This is just pure business ntate! Close to 60% of South Africans favour the most respected brand and succesfull soccer team ever in Mzanzi ( I mean who can blame them) followed by bucs with about 30% and the rest is shared by the remaining not so powerfull teams. Now bieng that the case, would you not capitalise on the largest market share if for instance you were an entrepreneur! Lyk it or not Chiefs is big hence were the purchasing power resides!! Great to be a khosi fan...

'Do not forget that Helen Zille is hiding herself as Kali...'

Hehehehehe

You reckon Chickmagnet is used by Kali in this forum to attract big businesses for financial begging? Seriously it won’t be long before we see Mike ‘Sporo’ Mangena collapse in the studio after Chiefs scores a winning goal. The guy convinced the likes of Kali that Pirates incident was supposed to be a penalty, I watched it twice and was too clear it was not a penalty.

Khosi till Pirates win the league

Andrew Cleary you watch soccer from you nieghbours window Khune never saved Terminators Penaly he(mabalane) sent it sky high.Khune only saved one penalty (Chenene).Lets not talk names lets talk stat, Last Season the Nominees for Goalie of the year were Kennedy Mweene,Moneeb Josephs,Calvin Marlin.Khune was not even there.Comparing Clean sheets for last Season Josephs out c;assed Khune.Dont take my word check for yourself.Khune is good I admit but lets not be blind he aint the only person that commands that area very well in this country

Did you see the anger in him ( Mangena) when he was spreading this propaganda? I mean the guy could not hide his hatred to Makhosi..Hehehehehe! I bet my last cent that when his asleep and dreaming about Lekhosi he gets wet dreams! Remember there is a thin line between love and hate...

TT: 2009-07-27 15:45

KHUNE IS COMING ON VERY WELL PARTICULARLY WITH CROSSES, HE IS DEFINATELLY GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST, CONTINUE TO MAKE MONEY BOY AND MAKE ALL THOSE WHO HATE YOU EAT HUMBLE PIE,THEY WILL TALK FOR EVER NEVER MIND THE HATERS ONLY TAKE POSETIVE CRITISISMS GOOD LUCK NEXT SEASON

SHINE KING KHUNE!

OBG: 2009-07-27 15:52

michael - can't be compared to useless cows like Moneeb. He won those awards and was roped by Khoza for Teko 2 season ago. He is the best and represents the national team. What did he (Moneeb) win? Nothing, you will brag about that nomination while Khune plays against the best in the world. Moneeb is inconsistent, while Khune is a season keeper and a team player if you look at his distributions.

OBG: 2009-07-27 15:57

papzen - Mangena is one confused person. Chiefs don't need his endorsement to win things. He was proud en happy to see Yeye been brutalized by Pirates player. That player deserved a red card and that would have given Chiefs advantage to win the game. Mangena is clueless. He is obviously disappointed that Chiefs is performing this good.

OBG- The reason why he cant also face the best in the world is that he was also robbed of his spot from the BB team. OBG come on now I never said slimkat is the best but what Im saying is that lets also notice other peoples efforts,For one I dont think Brian Baloyi and Fernadez are better than him.Dou you???? Why were they included in the squad and he was sacked with lies of him being injured.Again I say Khune is good but not invensible.Watch soccer not players only MADALA.

michael - you are obviously bitter from the lose against Chiefs and the fact that Chiefs won the cup. Safe that energy for late, you will need, believe u me. Moneeb lacks may things to be considered national material. Hate or love it, you still have more to see from Khune and Chiefs as a whole. I feel sorry for you, because the same can't be said about Pirates.

hold on now guys how can anyone compare khune to josephs. firstly if you look at their history you will see that khune has achieved a lot in 2 seasons than what josephs has achieved in all the teams he has played for. don't 4get to look at their ages. to do well in a team like chiefs takes a lot especially if the men before you have done so well.very few keepers leave chiefs without a major trophy. see what pressure did to the likes of senzo meyiwe,francis chansa. but hey mabhakhaniya don't stress josephs is still young he will learn once he grows all his teeth.
