Uye watyikitywa liqela laseYurophu ekuthiwa yi-Azerbaijan emva kokuba engazange avumelane neChiefs ngemali kwiingxoxo ngesivumelwano sengqesho esitsha. Ekuqaleni kwale veki, uEksten (29) utyikitywe yiSabali FK – elinye iqela azifumanele lona eYurophu ngeli thuba lokuthengwa kwabadlali elivulwe ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka. Nangona kunjalo, uEksten uxelele iKickOff.com okokuba angabuyela kwiChiefs ukuba iyamfuna. Le ndedeba yemka kwiChiefs xa kanye umdlalo wayo ufunquka phantsi kuka-Ernst Middendorp owamenza elinye lamaxhadi wakhe emva kokuthatha iintambo ekuqaleni kuka-2019. 
  “Andinangxaki nokubuyela kwiChiefs. Ngeke ndikwazi kodwa ngoku ngoba ndifuna ukudlala apha eYurophu. Mna nabadlali beChiefs sakuhlala singabahlobo. Andizami ukuthi ikhona into esasisilwa ngayo. Hayi, andinayo ingxaki neChiefs. Yiyo lo nto phambi kokuhamba kwam eNaturena, ndaya kusihlalo (Kaizer Motaung) endafika engekho. Andizange ndalwa neqela,” utshilo u-Ekstein kwiKickOff. Ukungavani kwakhe neChiefs kwamphosanisa nokudlala emdlalweni weNedbank eyabethwa kuwo iChiefs ngo’1-0 yiTS Galaxy edlala kwiGladAfrica League. “Yayiliphupha lam ukudlala umdlalo kwiNedbank Cup. Emva kwezinto ezenzekayo, ndandingakhathali ngoba eyona nto endandiyifuna yayikukudlala kula mdlalo,” utshilo uEkstein. 
  Bekulindeleke uEkstein ahlale iminyaka emibini kwiqela alishiyileyo – kodwa uthi uye wahamba emva kokuxelelwa okokuba akanayo indawo ngumqeqeshi. “Kuye kwafika umqeqeshi omtsha. Ndidlale imizuzu embalwa emidlalweni emithathu emva koko umqeqeshi akandisebenzisa. Usihlalo weqela wandibiza wandixelela okokuba umqeqeshi akazundisebenzisa. Ndamxelela okokuba ngeke mna ndihlale ndingadlali. Ndathi kungcono siqhawulwe isivumelwano sam sengqosho ngoba andikwazi ukuhlala nje ndiphilile,” utshilo uEkstein.
