Tefu Mashamaite says Tottenham Hotspur should be wary of Kaizer Chiefs

Tefu – Chiefs will challenge next season

Posted: 2011-06-20 09:11

New Kaizer Chiefs signing Tefu Mashamaite is confident Amakhosi will challenge for the League title next season – providing they can maintain their upward curve.

Mashamaite, who joined the Soweto club last month as a replacement for Belgium-bound Valery Nahayo, says Chiefs have improved a great deal in the last while, but have been undone by a lack of consistency.

“For the past two or three seasons, Chiefs have changed tremendously,” he tells KickOff.com. “It has always been a challenge playing against Chiefs, especially this past season.

“When you played against them you could feel it was a different game. The movement they make when going forward, the fitness ... it is just unfortunate that they didn’t win the League. It came down to inconsistency.

“When they played Ajax, one of the top football-playing teams in the country, they reduced them to being nothing. If they can keep that level than they can go all the way.”

Mashamaite will link up with his new teammates on June 27 for pre-season training, with his first big assignment being the Vodacom Challenge against League champions Orlando Pirates and English Premiership side Tottenham Hotspur.

But far from being daunted facing the likes of Gareth Bale and Luka Modric, the 26-year-old says that Spurs should be wary of facing Chiefs!

“I don’t like to think of other players as ‘bigger’ than us,” he tells KickOff.com. “They are fortunate enough for us to be watching them on telly, but if you sit down and compare, there is not much of a difference between us and them. It’s the media who make it appear in our eyes that they are more advanced than us.

“Yes, the levels might not be the same, but at the end of the day we can beat Spurs. In fact, they should be looking forward to swapping jerseys with us!”

this boy is indeed a real soldier posses great attitude,fearless and winning mentality, again welcome home.

FISTOS: 2011-06-20 09:56

you are spot on Tefu,consistent

“When they played Ajax, one of the top football-playing teams in the country, they reduced them to being nothing. If they can keep that level than they can go all the way.”

and when the 3 by 3 was born a certain team was reduced to nothing but a netball team and their player of the season was left crying and
went sr8 to the dressing room after subtituted on the 35th minutes

Marcus : 2011-06-20 09:58

welcome to a club which has consistent winning culture. I have no doubt that u will be a success and not another thabang rooi flop.

Marcus : 2011-06-20 10:00

@Fistos
yebo fistos. The players must treat small teams the same way they treated all the big teams we defeated this season.

sbo : 2011-06-20 10:18

tl tl tl...player of the season crying. Eish Yeye never do that to a child again...lol

S\'javo: 2011-06-20 10:20

The delay by DR Khoza to offer mr krol a new contract is subject to the fact that all those trophies were won by pure luck playing doom doom football,Khoza is still waiting for technical report of which mr krol hasn't drafted one yet cause it was all miracle for him.

Jam Jam: 2011-06-20 10:26

I LIKE IT Tefu!!!
This reminds me of Dane Klate when he went to the media without fear and declared that he is joining Bucs to help the team winning cups. People criticised his comment, but Klate has now won treble with Bucs in the same season which exceeded his expectation of winning one cup.
And if i can ask, where are those criticisers who said
how can Klate leaves 3-times championship winners to join the team that has not won the cup in ten years.

Tsundzuka : 2011-06-20 10:34

Once again, chiefs do the playing at media conferences while treble winning teams do the playing at a football field.

Siviwe Madondile : 2011-06-20 10:37

Good luck my beloved team

S\'javo: 2011-06-20 10:49

next season Tefu will be vying for 1st place into bafana bafana cause i still believe he is better than sangweni,gould and Khumalo, if given a chance he can surpass what the latter did.

Distar: 2011-06-20 10:57

Next baboon at chimps, who do you think you are? Every season Chimps are willing to win da league but they end up come with nothing! So, stop making noise you Bloddy Chimpanzee.....who are you impressing? At Bucselona we don't have any fear of stupits like you....maybe you are going to be a bench warmer you idiot..!!!!!!!!

De reason sum of us don't comment often is bcos of de top level of immaturity shown by some of de guys here who can't stick 2 de topic at hand en comment on it. I read many tyms de article en still failed 2 find de name Shabba en neither is de anythn said bout his business.

Guys can we try in de new season 2 b objective en talk soccer whether mayambela or yeye r ugly, player's businesses or cars dey drive don't help much let's discuss soccer.

lol by da way tefu is da most expensive signing in histroy of chimps...jerrrr wat a floopy history....so il urge u 2 deliver or else , jessica will deal wth you in 1 on 1 sessions

Nipsy: 2011-06-20 13:01

This boy is a good player based on the matches he played so far but there so many areas I noted that he needs to work on and he needs to be mentally strong before he can make a great striker. As for Orphans you guys are just hungry for a superstar that is why Jali only won Footballer of the Year award to Orphans, Teko Modise has just proved that he is not worthy infront of the whole world.

Juan Pablo : 2011-06-20 13:19

We are the Champions! Wch means we hv starz in our team so y d u say we ar hungry 4 a star...u ar an ashole

Nipsy: 2011-06-20 13:31

@KING

All your comments are irrelevant actually you are just proving to everyone that you are brainless, I thought maybe there was something missing in your brain but now I realized that your brain is non-existent. Shabba, Jessica and Tau has nothing to do with Tefu's comments. I don't understand why Orphans are so obsessed about Chiefs, Jessica and Shabba. Maybe it bcos Shabba and Jessica are stationary, Zodwa is dead and Jessica is still healthy and beautiful and Teko is resuracted from death and Shabba is still flying Chiefs flag and the national flag.
................................................

TEFU you are right if we can be consistent no team in PSL can beat us even the so called Free-ble Champions.

maxico : 2011-06-20 13:41

chiefs need to buy some qaulity players two strikers an two top defenders if they want to be league champs next season

truth sometimes hurt but 1 day you will get a star,like shabba and Rhoo who will represent the nation as well,so stop praising any animal that passes at mayfair

You are a mogoe wena so called investment ****yst, How does Shabba's investment relate to this article??? You should have read Sowetan and make your comments there idiot, you even show us that you know nothing about business. Buying a franchise does not require you to be there to run day to day operation, you appoint people who will run the franchise and they receive training from the franchisor to run the franchise and keep records and the rest is accounting work.

U r right my bro we can do it ...khosi 4 life

all i can say to tefo is welcome to a palace of trophies..hope you keep them coming!

LOVE & PEACE...GOLD & BLACK

@KING can you for once leave Out of Football matters to be just that?

The guys have asked you that how would you feel if someone mentioned the late Zodwa's death.

In my complete assessment on your little brain i see that you don't love Pirates that's the reason why you always provoking other people to always uncover nasty files from Pirates.

The story i'm commenting on is for Mashamaite.

Juan Pablo : 2011-06-20 14:30

Tefu wil b adding 2 the kraal of cows like Isaacs nd Sweswe, u cnt win the league wit bunch of bulls,u nid tough class dfndrz like Mahamutsa Jele Legkwati Johanes nd Mabizela

NZOTHO: 2011-06-20 15:21

2 all the bloggers some of the comments on this site r very disturbing, can we 4 once ommit vulgar lunguage viz, lets leave Jessica & Zodwa(May her Soul Rest in Peace)out of this.the editor of KO should discard all wrong comments on this site.we've a long way 2 go & some of us will be champs till end of may'12
