Chiefs coach rallies behind Billiat

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp believes Khama Billiat will bounce back as the winger’s struggles in front of the goal continue.

The Zimbabwe international has endured a goal drought, having last scored in November in the preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup where he got a hat-trick. His last domestic goal came back in October against Orlando Pirates.

But Middendorp thinks it’s a matter of time before the 28-year-old rediscovers his touch and starts netting goals again.

“It’s normal. He’s a player with huge potential but, okay, we have the options and whether he plays until half-time or comes from the bench, we will bring him back to [form]. He has huge value for us,” the coach said.

Billiat was subbed off in the 73rd minute in Chiefs’ 2-0 victory against Bidvest Wits last night.
