Kaizer Chiefs attacking midfielder Wandile Duba has hailed new defender Inacio Miguel as a true leader.
The Angola international joined Amakhosi at the start of the current season on a three-year deal, featuring in all three of Chiefs’ Betway premiership matches and scoring a goal in their 3-1 win over AmaZulu.
Miguel, 28, has already spoken on leadership matters at the club saying he doesn’t need to wear an arm band to understand his role as a leader in the team and the importance of a team having more than one leader on the pitch.
Duba has described Miguel as someone who tends to be closer to young players because he just wants to them succeed. The 20-year-old added that he is by no means implying that other players aren’t leaders however Miguel has his own style of leadership.
“That one [Miguel] is a true leader, I’m not going to lie,” said Duba to the media.
“He is so encouraging especially to us youngsters. He likes to see us do well, so he pushes us a lot. He’s a real leader and I’m not saying other players that are around are not leaders it’s just that he has his ways.
“If he sees you having a bad game, he comes to you and encourages you to keep pushing,” he said.
When it comes to the other four players who were signed this campaign, Duba says the guys have adjusted to the Chiefs way of thinking.
“I think coming from their former teams they knew they were coming to play for Chiefs, so they added that Chiefs mentality that makes you work hard and want to win.”
