Kaizer Chiefs defender Edmilson Dove has spoken about his role in helping new South American signings Edson Castillo and Jason Gonzalez settle in at Naturena.
Dove revealed that he is helping the new players settle in and feel welcomed by being their translator as their command of the English language is not strong.
The two new arrivals are of Spanish origin, coming from Venezuela and Colombia, respectively, with Dove being from Mozambican and being able to speak Portuguese – a language close to Spanish.
He told iDiski Times senior Writer Velile Mnyandu, in the current edition of the newspaper that he enjoys being part of the Chiefs family in any form, even through translating.
“Yeah, obviously, as the chairman said it’s a family, we should be able to embrace each other, help each other where we can,” Dove, whose Mozambique booked their AFCON ticket this past weekend, told iDiski Times.
“And for me, if I can lay a hand to help teammates that don’t understand English and it’s an honour for me. That’s how you make people feel comfortable, feel welcomed as they’re part of this family.
“So I’m just there to help where I can, translating because they speak Spanish and not much English. So for me it’s just as just a teammate trying to help another teammate.”
