Chabalala pleased with Bucs progress

Johannesburg - Orlando Pirates defender Justice Chabalala has been pleased with his adjustment at the Buccaneers after featuring in the goalless draw against Cape Town City FC on Tuesday.

Chabalala has played in two of the three games for Pirates since the start of the season after joining from Free State Stars.

"I'm very happy about how I played, but I would have been happier with the team winning the game," Chabalala told KickOff.

"We worked hard as a team, but it's all about taking in the instructions and trying to execute that as best you can."

Buccaneers coach Mushin Ertugral, meanwhile, was disappointed that his players failed to convert their chances at the Orlando Stadium.

"Today only 60% of my players listened to my instructions. I'm disappointed over the type of football we dished out today. It didn't look like the same team in training, in terms of patterns, organisational forms and tactical aspects.

"I need to understand the players, and they need to understand me. No matter what we did today, everything we did didn't work."
