Itumeleng Khune proud to be a part of Kaizer Chiefs

Khune – It is not easy for me

Posted: 2010-12-07 20:55

Itumeleng Khune tells KickOff.com he is proud to be a part of Kaizer Chiefs, the reigning Telkom Knockout champions. 

‘SpiderKid’ walked away with the Telkom Knockout goalkeeper of the tournament award today, along with a R100 000 cheque for his efforts. In fact, Amakhosi players swept across the board winning all four of the awards on offer from the goalkeeper to the striker’s award.
 
Khune has hailed the entire team. “I’m proud of myself and the team... I’m proud to be a part of this team,” he says. “I also salute the supporters for being behind us at all times,” he says.
 
In Khune’s absence during the quarterfinals match against Free State Stars in the Telkom Knockout Arthur Bartman kept a clean and the team finished the tournament without conceding a goal in the four games they played. The Bafana keeper feels Chiefs’ strong goalkeeping department is the reason behind his success.
 
“Yeah, it is. It is not easy for me and I wouldn’t like to tell myself that I’m the number one in the team. There is no time to relax. All the other goalkeepers are pushing me and I’m on my toes,” Khune adds.

Kaizer Chiefs should lay charges to whoever told kraal to play Otorogo in the TKO cup final
for bringing a team’s name into( Kaizer chiefs ) into disrepute.
Anyone who signed Municipality truck is mentally crippled.

Lol, this is just great, they can hate all they like but the truth is KAIZER CHIEFS ARE A CLASSY TEAM, WE ARE THE UNDISPUTED KINGS OF SOUTH AFRICAN CUP FOOTBALL, no other team comes close, their fluke MTN8 win made them believe they were on our level but we quickly brought them back to mother earth, the reality is, THEY ARE NOTHING BUT PRETENDERS, like someonoe once said, THEY are the OLDEST TEAM in the country while Chiefs are the BIGGEST team in Mzansi, khosi all day, everyday!!!!!!!

Totalfootball : 2010-12-08 07:23

You I'm puzzled by some blind chimpanzees and their chairman when they say they made up to 70 percent of the stadium.two things which fooled them,the seats @ FNB are gold(whoever came with that colour for the stadium must be prosecuted) and even long before the game start some commmentators were already saying the stadium is jammed packed and just as I enter the stadium,I realised that there were so many empty seats. Secondly because we share some white jersey colour with them they always think its always them who are in the colour.I was in the stadium and Pirates supporters came in big numbers.so this people should stop lying to the whole by claiming that they were ruling in all fronts.

Totalfootball : 2010-12-08 07:31

Ma chiefs stop boosting about being the Kings of SA football,oh yeah maybe,for some reason only known to you! Ha, I only know one team which is taken serious and which is in the Genius Book of Records,FIFA roll of honour,CAF club highest champs honour and that's Orlando Pirates and until these Chimps match or surpass our status then will we take them serious.For now its just empty talk.

"saying the stadium is jammed packed and just as I enter the stadium,I realised that there were so many empty seats" How do you listen to TV commentators saying that & the next minute you walking in the stadium witnessing empty seats. Do you live at the stadium?

nice to console urself bro,

thats what u said two months ago after u got
heinekenye from arrows 2gether with peirats fans
that we will not win anything we are a relegation material,

so wat if we win the champioship?
wat are u going to say coz i don't see sundowns doing that,
if they fail to pass the next stage of all cups how can they win the championship

M.J. Nzwakele: 2010-12-08 08:59

Itu Khune: Congratulations to you for winning Telkom knockout goalkeeper of the tournament. This means go back to hard work to achieve more. It also means that try to cut out those unnecessary tantrums you throw when the referee's decision has not gone your way. Please cut out the bookings be it yellow or red card. Otherwise keep the good work. Aim to be the outstanding goal keeper in the African continent and be the best in the world.

WELL DONE KAISER CHIEFS. YOU DERSERVE THAT WIN. YOU PLAYED WELL. YOU DID NOT CHEAT US. GOOD JOB REFREE, PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET ABOUT YOU. ONLY HWEN YOU HAVE DONE SOME MISTAKES THATS WHEN YOU ARE MENTIONED. ONCE A PIRATE ALWAYS A PIRATE. EVEN MY KIDS ARE PIRATES. THEY CHOOSE THE TEAM FOR THEMSELVES I DID NOT INFLUENCE THEM.

Dr Prof: 2010-12-08 09:12

Those of you who are calling for Kraal's expulsion and being replaced by Graig, yesterday kickoff reported a fall-out between him and Manyambela and today soccerladuma reported on his fall-out with highly 'overrated' cow Modise, it shows clearly that the problem doesn't lie squarely on Krall but the attitude of players.

Others condone Jali's unsportman behaviour after being substituted, I think Krall did well to take him off, he ran too much into Sporo's utterances. He thought that he can outsmart Yeye, the man who had played at the biggest stage, WC, but fact remains: there is a problem at OP, the problem is not Kraal himself, what about players? Jali was completely 'humiliated' and Kraal saved his career

It doesn't need a scientist to tell you that Mbuyane is using muti to hipnotise Kraal.

What about Mbele's alleged interference? I heard that the entire technical team was summoned before the chairman to explain its tactics: the selection of players (Teko left out), who was on the bench (Tlou not being used timeously) and how substitutions were made (jali being substituted). What the hell is this, Did Khoza, Mbele play soccer, or do they know anything about coaching?

Fela: 2010-12-08 09:16

OK guys just exactly how long are you going to celebrate because i am struggling to breath this week since saturday. Everywhere i drive i see a KC T-shirt and thought maybe just maybe football friday has been changed to football everyday. Just so you know i went to the bank on monday standard bank to be exact and i saw this guy with a KC T-shirt and could not see exactly what was on his head until i came closer. Damn this guy had a PERM you remember the old Chippa Molatedi Didi Khuse PERM he had exactly the same stuff, never thought the saloon still have the material for that.

Dr Prof: 2010-12-08 09:12 [ Report ]


eee Prof to be exact this meeting is held after every game win or loose the impression created by supersport for whatever the reason is incorrect because the chairman wants a report, if we had won supersport would not have highlighted the meeting with the chairman.

Ok to be exact there are players in the OP team who are full of themselves, will not mention them but they feel they are bigger than the team. It is the coach's responsibility to bring them on line or report them to management. I like it when you say Mbuyane hipnotised Krol hahahahahaha.

Senganga: 2010-12-08 09:51

Aowa, ke kgale re utlwa ka Telkom. It is not as if they have won the league, enough maan. Next topic: weekend fixtures. We know that kickoff, Laduma, Sowetan, Star and others that we are not aware of are chips media but I think it's time for the next topic.

Gerrard wa le khosi: 2010-12-08 10:48

the problem with pie-rats is,when they r buying players,they buy 2 games wonder n thats all.e.g.mbuyani,jali,ngobeni,cloete,mabalane,mayambela,johannes,meyiwa,etc.actually 98% of pie-rats players r 2 games wonder except the general(modise).i also wonder what criteria has pie-rats used to choose rudi krol as a coach but wateva:Khoza knows nothing about futball except clinching deals.

K-lab: 2010-12-08 13:26

Speechless,...

Khosi always.

well done for winning the cup & also winning individual award,keep up the good work and don't let what is written on the media destroy your confidence

nothando : 2010-12-08 14:24

i think the fact that chiefs are written in the guinnes world record books 4 being the FIRST TEAM TO WIN THE SAME TROPHY THE VERY SAME YEAR IN THE WHOLE WORLD WIDE IS THE EXACT REASON WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE THE WHOLE YEAR. Enjoy Christmas, and have a happy new year Makhosi
