Billiat eager to continue international form for Chiefs

Khama Billiat will hope to turn his international form with Zimbabwe into goals for Kaizer Chiefs when he takes to the field in the Telkom Knockout semifinal against Maritzburg United at the Mbombela Stadium on Sunday.

Billiat netted twice for The Warriors against Zambia on Tuesday, welcome goals after failing to find the back of the net for Chiefs since netting against AmaZulu on September 24.

“I am feeling good. We are in a good space and we are just trying to be as professional as we can. We want to come back now and continue from where we left before the International break,” Billiat said of his form and that of the team.

But he also knows that Maritzburg will present a huge challenge with their organisation and structure under coach Eric Tinkler.

“We are expecting a good game, a tough game. They are a hardworking team. If we don’t do the basics correct, they can punish us – they work nicely together.

“We believe in our team. We are strong and if we go into this game with the right mindset we can win. It’s vital to get to the final, it will boost our confidence individually as well as collectively.

“It will help us do well in the league and for the rest of the season going forward – that’s why we need to win this game.”
