• Many Chiefs fans were not going to lie down at Matsau's stinging words, giving reasons why they were on Parker's back

Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Daniel Matsau has fired at Amakhosi fans to climb off captain Bernard Parker's back.

Parker has flattered to deceive in recent seasons, experiencing a goal drought that has opened him up to criticism from all quarters, but Matsau says that he is being undervalued.

Matsau told Kickoff.com:

"He is giving Chiefs all that they need. He uses everything that he's got, so for me, Parker is on top form.

He is giving Chiefs all that they need. He uses everything that he's got, so for me, Parker is on top form.People are quick to judge, look at Cristiano Ronaldo he's 37-years-old but why can't we say he's old? How do you complain about a person who is doing everything? Look man people in South Africa, they love football, but they don't understand football."

Matsau also praised Parker's never-say-die attitude as well as versatility.

However, Mzansi football fundis on social media were not having any of Matsau's praise for Parker, continuing their criticism unabated.

"We haven't won anything for the last 7 years. This is not about loving vs understanding football, Parker's record as an attacking player leaves much to be desired, it's abysmal to say the least"

Khomba Baboki said:

"Parker has been exceptional, just that in SA if fans hates you. It's done with you, the man has been strong and proved himself. God bless Bernard Parker!"

Bobby Reid said:

"If you have to justify a player's role in a club, just know that you are the one that's in the wrong"

Thembelani Kula said:

"I agree. Parker is one of players that shows Europe educated. Remember he plays as number 9. He plays different row eg. left wingback, number10, central attacking midfielder, left wing and playmaker. He is so talented."
