‘Another Chivaviro?’ – Chiefs fans slam Da Silva after sloppy debut
fans were left frustrated with Flavio Da Silva’s performance in his fight match for the club against
He was named in the starting 11 for Amakhosi on Tuesday night, where they lost 2-1 to the Dutch side in a training match. Reeve Frosler scored the only goal for the visitors as they suffered defeat in their first pre-season match.
The 29-year-old striker joined Amakhosi last week from Persebaya Surabaya in Indonesia. The Portuguese striker is relatively unknown, but it has been documented that he was one of the best players in Indonesia.
With Amakhosi desperate for a good striker, Da Silva is not tasked with the job of scoring goals for the Soweto giants.
The striker looked sluggish and failed to combine with his teammates. His touches and ball control were very suspect but it could be that he is trying to come to terms with a new style of play.
Kaizer Chiefs fans, however, were not pleased with how the striker performed on Tuesday. Many compared him to departed forward Ranga Chivaviro who has a love/hate with Amakhosi supporters due to his inconsistency in front of goals.
“Fighting every bone in my body to watch the Chiefs game.. My WhatsApp groups are already writing off Flavio Silva ba re another Chivaviro, what reason I didn’t want this to be streamed,” @Nipho_MK.
“I saw him leaving the ball behind and switched to Netflix immediately,” @HLABARINTO tweeted.
@IGNY567 wrote: “Lol it is just preseason but I don’t think he will survive Betway Prem, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. One thing I saw is that he can press, maybe it will be the system that fails him.”
