Kaizer Chiefs FC's former co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef has admitted that the team faces a huge quality gap compared to Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. Ben Youssef spent two seasons at Kaizer Chiefs FC, first as an assistant to Nasreddine Nabi and later as the club's co-coach alongside Cedric Kaze. He believes that the squad that Kaizer Chiefs FC had in the last two seasons could not compete with both Sundowns and Pirates for the league title. The team's ambition to win everything is not matched by its current reality, according to Ben Youssef. He feels that the least that the Amakhosi squad could do was finishing in the top four on the PSL log. Ben Youssef's concerns are centered around the fact that Kaizer Chiefs FC seems more ambitious than being realistic about its current situation. He shared with the management that the day Kaizer Chiefs FC have at least six regular players in the Bafana Bafana setup, that's when they can be able to compete. Ben Youssef cited the example of Sundowns, which brought in Brayan León and saw immediate results. He also pointed out that the best players in the PSL are found at Orlando Pirates, and that the Bafana Bafana squad is dominated by players from Pirates and Sundowns. Kaizer Chiefs FC, on the other hand, has only one player, Bradley Cross, in the Bafana Bafana squad, and he does not play regularly. Ben Youssef's comments highlight the challenges faced by Kaizer Chiefs FC in competing with the top teams in the PSL. The club needs to be realistic about its current situation and work towards improving its squad. Winning the Nedbank Cup or the Carling Knockout Cup is not enough, according to Ben Youssef, as the team needs to focus on building a strong squad that can compete for the league title. Kaizer Chiefs FC's management needs to take a hard look at the team's current situation and work towards making significant improvements. The club's fans are eager to see their team succeed, and it is up to the management to make the necessary changes. Ben Youssef's comments are a wake-up call for Kaizer Chiefs FC, and the club needs to take them seriously if it wants to compete with the best teams in the PSL.
