On March 09, 2024, Dillan Solomons of Kaizer Chiefs participated in the DStv Premiership match against Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. Solomons, who joined Kaizer Chiefs from Moroka Swallows two seasons ago, has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. He has made 13 appearances across all competitions as a rotational player. During a press briefing, Solomons shared his thoughts on the team’s current predicament, expressing the mental challenges they have faced and the difficulties in securing victories.
He highlighted conceding as a major issue, attributing it to the team’s struggle to regain momentum and win games once they concede. Solomons also emphasized the need for the team to improve its offensive capabilities, stressing the importance of mental strength and creating more scoring opportunities for the strikers. He identified the delivery of better crosses and the creation of higher-quality chances by the midfielders as areas needing improvement. As Kaizer Chiefs prepared to face SuperSport United at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, both teams were seeking a much-needed victory to break their runs of poor form.
The upcoming match was seen as an opportunity for the Soweto giants to confront their mental and tactical challenges, with the hope of climbing back into the top half of the table.
