Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Lebese says coach Stuart Baxter deserves all the credit for the improvement in his game this season.

The 23-year-old has been a regular for Amakhosi this season, and also featured for Bafana Bafana in the 1-0 defeat in Warsaw last month.

There has never been any doubt about Lebese’s ability, but this season Baxter has finally given him the belief and confidence to follow through.

“He is a coach that believes in me and believes that I have something to offer for the team,” Lebese tells the club’s official website.

“I am grateful for the chance. I am just working hard and want to prove the coach right and produce every time I am given a chance.”

Lebese adds: “He spoke to me about areas I needed to improve for my game. He spoke to me a lot about my defending and I think I am defending quite better now. He also brought a spirit of teamwork for us to win games. We enjoy working with him as the players.”

At least you are telling us his right age Mr Editor. Some players have so many ages, they can't even speculate on their correct one !!

Pirates must not even think of putting Legwathi on the right back position.....George \"Pelepele"Lebese will send that old man to the cleaners and to early retirement......

Hehehehe there is something wrong with these Chimpanzees, yesterday it was gorrilla Katsande also with the same hallucination that his game has improved.
If the kak play these cows display every week is what they call \"improved\" game then i don't know.

Anyway they will understand this when the Chimpanzees burn Baxter's cooked CV on the 8th. Thats when they will realise that they have been playing kak football with the fortune of the BLACK CONCOCTION to yield some few results.

Just another average player dat have degree of Animalogyst from de Zoo, he 's just recentely graduated to disappointing Bafana bafana like his collegues.

If he was playing for de Galaxy he should have been loaned to either Rabali Blackpool or Dangerous Darkies just playing for gambling games.

He is 23 and Jali is 22 but when you compare the accolades you will find that Jali beats him hands down.

He has been in the PSL for more than 5 years but he can't show anything for it.

In short this man has failed in the PSL and will never have any significant impact anywhere in football.#
