It\u2019s not only for strikers to chip in with goals, or defenders to actually defend,\u201d argued Katsande.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we could say at some point there are instances where [Leonardo] Castro also chases back from the strike force to defend, so everybody has a duty to contribute in the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for scoring goals, it\u2019s a plus for me, but overall I\u2019m more worried about the team, because the team comes first before any individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-post-div\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOUTH AFRICA: Kaizer Chiefs stalwart Willard Katsande has emphasised the importance of their victory over AmaZulu but downplayed his recent contribution in the way of goals.
