Kaizer Chiefs striker Christian Saile Basomboli has been given forthright advice about what he needs to do at the club to avoid sinking into becoming a flop. 

Saile has made five appearances with a return of a single goal as he gets down to business at Chiefs after joining from Nchanga Rangers in January.

"After all is said and done the best way to communicate with the Chiefs fans is through goals," says his fellow countryman, Kabamba Musasa.

Musasa joined Chiefs from St Eloi-Lupopo ahead of the 2002/03 season and scored 14 goals in 58 appearances before leaving for Turkish club Istanbulspor.

He won the hearts of the Chiefs with by scoring in the Soweto derby in consecutive years and left having won the league and Coca-Cola Cup.

"At Chiefs, there are a lot of fans who follow the club, and they can say whatever they want about you but just know that as a striker your job is to score.

"Once you have the goals it helps with your confidence going forward.

"If you are not scoring so many things can be said about you so that is why I say he should just score goals to earn the trust of the fans.

"I see Chiefs have not been winning trophies for many years now so I think he should use this as his chance to score goals that win the club a trophy.  

"Even with his play, he should try to get into the box a lot so that he scores goals.

"I know there are a lot of players with skill that will provide him with the passes for him to finish.

"So, that is why I say his language should be all about the goals," says Musasa.
