If anything he's looked revitalised by a new challenge of sparking Chiefs back to life‚ and at the same time revelled in Solinas's attacking football.
The coach was asked about why he's now bowed twice to Billiat.
"Huh‚ Khama Billiat‚" Solinas mused.
He continued: "Guys - Barcelona play with 10 players plus [Lionel] Messi. At Kaizer Chiefs we play with 10 players plus Billiat.
"Billiat is the best player in the PSL. He's a top-class player.
"In my opinion. Maybe someone will disagree‚ but in my personal opinion he's an unbelievable player‚ a fantastic player.
"He's a player who makes the difference.
"He's not a player for the PSL - sorry guys. But this player is for Europe."
Solinas had previously said that Billiat is not a player for the PSL.
However‚ describing Chiefs as "10 men plus Billiat" is going one further.
The description and the bowing might raise eyebrows. Right now‚ while Chiefs are firing‚ it doesn't seem to be a problem that Solinas is showing Amakhosi's new star player appreciation.
But what happens when Chiefs start losing‚ and what message does it send to Billiat's teammates?
What‚ too‚ happens if Billiat gets injured?
Chiefs next meet Highlands Park at Makhulong Stadium on October 2.
