VUSUMUZI VILAKAZI'S AMAZULU FC SETTLEMENT
'Kanu', as he is known, spoke about how he is settling in at AmaZulu, just two weeks into his new job as the club's DDC coach.
As I have only spent two weeks with the team, there are still a lot of things to do. But so far, I am pleased with the performance and commitment," he said.
We needed a balance because even their scoring rate wasn't satisfying. I think they scored 30 goals, and it's only one goal per game, which is not enough.
Now, I'm trying to balance it between a very strong defensive structure and offensive play.
Our offensive play is much better, and we're creating a lot of scoring opportunities, but we still need to improve our finishing because there are a lot of chances we didn't convert.
"So far, so good, if you look at the team last season, they were struggling. This season is much better, and it's promising that you will give us a few more, and you will see the best of AmaZulu."
