Solomons warns Chiefs they need to keep on winning
'We need to improve a lot of things but that comes with time,' said the Chiefs wing-back.
Dillan Solomons, a Kaizer Chiefs player, has cautioned the team not to become complacent following their strong start to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. Chiefs are currently unbeaten after five league games, winning three and drawing two, and they are currently trailing only Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns in the table.
Last season, Chiefs started similarly, winning four and drawing one of their first five games before struggling afterwards. The responsibility now lies with new head coach Fernando Da Cruz to ensure that this version of Chiefs remains in the title race for the long term. Solomons, who is a 30-year-old wing-back, stated that while the season's start is positive, the team must maintain consistency and keep winning games once they return from the international break.
Although their recent match against Siwelele resulted in a 3-2 home win, Solomons admits that the performance was not up to their usual standards. He emphasized the need for better defense and fewer mistakes at the back, despite the team's limited height up front. Solomons expressed confidence that the team is prepared for the upcoming challenge against Polokwane City, highlighting the need to focus on controlling the game and limiting the opponents' fast transitions.
