According to Ntseki, both strikers are mobile and good on the ball. To add, they are also flexible as they can play anywhere up front.
“I will always make reference how Manchester City used to play without a striker. When I look at the profile of Chivaviro and Gonzalez, basically we are not going to play a game where we got a striker who is standing there all the time who is helping the center back to defend the goal side,” Ntseki said.” said Ntseki.
“With him, we have someone who is very mobile, someone when he’s on the side he becomes a winger. He takes on the players and is good on the ball.
“I think it’s a good mixture of us doing a proper profile of him. Over time I think he will be a player with Ranga that will definitely help us move forward.

Ntseki further stated that Gonzalez and Chivaviro are perfect as a reference points that can help the team to grind results.
“It’s not only about his being a target man, it’s about him being a reference point. A reference point can be on the side, can be in the midfield, can be at the top. But the most important thing is how you move defenders to create those scoring opportunities.
“So I think [on Saturday] he did well. There were times where he was facing the goals and he tried to take shots at goal and score.
“But I think overtime he will be a player with Ranga that will definitely help us going forward,” he added.
