How Kaizer Chiefs head coach plans to turn things around after inconsistent results.
Nasreddine Nabi recognizes the urgent need to adjust his mindset and emotions after the team’s recent mixed results. Chiefs experienced tough defeats against Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United, alongside a disappointing draw against Magesi in their last three league matches.
Despite these challenges, Chiefs celebrated a commanding 4-0 victory over SuperSport in Polokwane, a performance that ironically sets them up for another encounter with Sundowns. As they prepare for this pivotal clash, Nabi reflects on how he has tackled the team’s recent performance issues, underscoring his competitive spirit.
“I am a competitor who struggles with losing,” Nabi stated as quoted by iDiski Times, highlighting his dedication to improvement.
Building a strong foundation for success
Nabi emphasises the importance of establishing a solid foundation for the team. “It’s true… but it’s a balance you need. You need to adjust yourself because the team we have… the project that’s there,” he said. He clarified that his primary focus remains on building a strong, competitive team.
From his first press conference, Nabi set clear expectations: “I said I am here first to build a very good team, a strong team,” indicating his commitment to long-term success rather than immediate results.
Chiefs realistic goals for the season
Nabi continues to stress realism in his approach. “If I tell you today that the team I have can be a contender for the championship, I would be lying,” he said. His honesty about the team’s current capabilities showcases his integrity and commitment to the fans. He believes the foundation must be solid before they can truly compete for trophies.
Yet, he maintains a strong drive for success. “It doesn’t mean we won’t give everything we have to win games… We have a spirit of winners, and I want the players to have it too,” Nabi asserted. His goal is to instil a winning mentality while remaining honest about the team’s journey.
Fans can look forward to an exciting match this Saturday at 18:00 at FNB Stadium, as Kaizer Chiefs take on Mamelodi Sundowns. With Nabi’s focus on resilience and building a stronger team, this clash promises to be a crucial moment in the season.
