Nabi Points Out Big Chiefs Problem Despite Cup Win

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has pointed out his side’s finishing as a “huge problem” for his side despite lifting the Cufa Cup trophy.

Bruce Bvuma became the hero on Sunday after saving two spot-kicks in the shootout after the game against Marumo Gallants head finished goalless after 90 minutes.

After the match, Nasreddine Nabi emphasised two issues he picked up in Bloemfontein – one his side’s poor finishing and secondly a lack of winning mentality as the game almost slipped out of their hands.

“It was a very intense game, it was an excellent thing [winning a trophy], but we created a lot of chances,” he said on SABC1.

“Just like against Sundowns, we also created a lot of opportunities. This is a big, big problem [that we’re missing chances].

“I want a winning mentality. There are no friendly games. In friendly games, you need a positive attitude, a winning attitude. In exercises in training I want to win.

“If I lose, it’s problem. I don’t sleep. I want this mentality.

“We lose momentum in the game, we gave the other team the chance to gain control, this is unacceptable.

“Secondly, we play cup against SuperSport, this is a very bad repetition. Maybe the SuperSport coach was watching and if we reach penalties again I need to change takers.”

Chiefs take on Gavin Hunt’s SuperSport in next week’s Carling Knockout Round of 16 clash before facing the same opponents in the Betway Premiership.
