Middendorp rubbishes talk of Kaizer Chiefs' title collapse

The 61-year-old mentor doesn't think the Soweto giants are bottling the title race, suggesting the league is still far from being over

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Ernst Middendorp has dismissed talk that his charges are slowly letting the league title slip through their fingers.

The Glamour Boys suffered their third league defeat of the campaign at the hands of Maritzburg United this past weekend, and Middendorp was asked if his team is starting to choke going into the final stages of the season.

Middendorp's men are now six points in front of second-placed Orlando Pirates and seven ahead of Mamelodi Sundowns who both had to work hard to get back into the title race.
