Kaizer Chiefs striker Christian Saile has offered his best and vowed to find the goals for Amakhosi.
Signed from Zambian giants Nchanga Rangers, Saile has proved to be a useful option for Chiefs regularly used as an impact player from the bench.

However, Saile’s three goals and one assist in 18 appearances so far are still a far cry from the free-scoring form displayed at his former side.
Speaking through Keagan Dolly as a translator at Kaizer Chiefs Village, Saile explained why he has yet to reach his goalscoring form.
"Obviously, the leagues are not the same. The PSL is a bit difficult, I needed a bit of time to adapt. I feel like I’m getting there," Saile said.
"I’m working hard to start scoring goals and getting the confidence.
"There’s a big difference in the way they play in South Africa and Zambia. In Zambia, there’s a lot of running and here it’s more possessional football.
"You have to avail yourself properly. Over there (in Zambia) sometimes the defenders will give you the ball to just score," Saile added jokingly.

In his short time with Chiefs, Saile has already worked with three different coaches, with the most recent two being Molefi Ntseki who started the season as head coach and current coach Cavin John who serves as head coach on an interim basis.
The Congolese striker outlined the differences between the pair.
"The difference is with the systems we play. Previously the wingers would invert but they now expect the wingers to stay wide," Saile explained.
"Wingers must have a one-on-one with defenders now and with that there are more possibilities to score goals."
