Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has revealed the main problem with his team this season.
The 59-year-old has had a tough season with Amakhosi, only managing eight wins in 23 league matches so far. Nabi has called for patience, given it is his first year coaching in South Africa.
“It’s a problem for the team; I think we need patience with the players. We need patience, not panic,” Nabi said as per KickOff.
Kaizer Chiefs fans running out of patience. Will Nabi survive?
“If you understand football, there are some negative points, but I think the team is complete in some points, and these negative points are only in the last decision. Solomons is not a winger, and he is not a striker; he is a right-back. The problem is not Solomons.”
Nabi has taken responsibility for the two matches Kaizer Chiefs lost back-to-back in the league last month.
“If you look at the game against Arrows and the game we lost against Richards Bay, it’s the same profile. This is the problem.
“I take responsibility; I don’t give the responsibility away, but to change the situation, we need two things. The first is patience. We need patience. Secondly, we need more players with the engine,” he added.
“In that way, if a player is substituted after 60 or 65 minutes, we possibly have to change position for the position, for example.
“I would be worried if the team played badly in all these games if we don’t play good football. But that is not the situation for Kaizer Chiefs, because Kaizer Chiefs complicate the game for themselves because we lose the opportunities to score,” Nabi said.
Will Nabi survive beyond this season?
