Majoro welcomes competition
Lehlohonolo Majoro says the arrival of
Kingston Nkhatha at the club will spur him on to score more goals this season.
Chiefs have brought in the Zimbabwean
hitman from Black Leopards, and Nkhatha will compete with Majoro, Bernard
Parker, Stehmbiso Ngcobo and Kaizer Motaung Junior for a starting place.
Majoro says his arrival is not seen as a
threat, nut rather motivation to keep on improving and scoring goals.
“Clearly if Kaizer Chiefs have bought him,
that means he has great potential,” Majoro says. “So that means that if you are
at the club already, you have to now up your game. For me it’s a positive
motivation.”
Majoro was top-scorer for AmaKhosi last
season with 15 goals in all competitions in his first year with the club, That
followed a successful debut PSL campaign for AmaZulu, when he netted 16 times.
He says he had heard talk that he would be
a one-season wonder, but chose not to listen to the prophets of doom.
“Let me say that I try by all means to ignore that kind of talk. As a player
you must know where you focus your energy. Such things will distract you if you
let them get to you. For me personally, I know footballers do lose their form
here and there but that’s the name of the game in a way. I try to stay level
headed and ignore such talk.”
He says he is now fully settled an Naturena
and looking forward to improving his game further this season.
“I’ve settled in but one thing I can say is
that there is no such thing as a comfort zone. If you do that you lose focus,
relax and then lose your form. I try to push myself even harder. We have good
quality players at the club. It motivates me to compete against other good
players,” Majoro says.
