The 30-year-old goalkeeper, however, does not believe he is doing anything wrong as he is only managing the game to help his side get a positive result.
“It’s not antics at all,” Chipezeze was quoted by CAJ News Africa.
“Rather, I call it game management. As a captain, sometimes, if I sense danger coming from our opponents, I have to be smart, tactical, strategic and devise manoeuvres to manage the game.
“It’s not always good to be dictated play by your opponents. We should rather counter their strategy. I call that game management.”
