Kaizer Chiefs have secured a new defensive mind in their dugout while they continue to chase new creative talents to bolster the squad.
Invincible duo for Kaizer Chiefs
Kaze and Nasreddine Nabi have won six trophies together. In 2021-2022, Yanga conceded a miserly tally of eight goals in the league. In the following campaign, they went on an unbeaten streak which stretched their record to 49 matches without a defeat. That number is reminiscent of the legendary Arsaenal team under Arsene Wenger who won the 2003-2004 Premier League title without tasting a single defeat. The Tanzanian Invincibles. Tanzanian analyst Salum Pelembo reiterated Kaze’s defensive prowess:
“Kaze’s Yanga were very strong defensively and difficult to break down,” Pelembo said.
“That’s why they went 17 games unbeaten under Kaze. I’m sure Nabi will assign him to work on the defence, and he’ll definitely improve them.”
Kaze wants Salum at Chiefs
According to Soccer-Laduma, Cedric Kaze has suggested Chiefs battle Sundowns for Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum. He’s a player Kaze and Nasdreddine Nabi know well with their vast experience of league football in that country. However, rumoured interest from Masandawana would drive the 26-year-old’s price up. Salum has 37 caps and three goals for his country.
Nabi complains about officiating after a draw with Magesi
Chiefs trailed 2-0 to Magesi before a quick-fire Mduduzi Shabalala brace salvaged a point for the visiting Glamour Boys. Amakhosi boss Nabi lamented the official’s failure to award his side a spot-kick when Wandile Duba appeared to be fouled in the box. Via The Citizen:
“Obviously we are very disappointed, but we have to talk about how the officials are officiating the game,” Nabi told SuperSport TV after the match.
“We believe it is more than time that VAR comes into this beautiful league. We strongly believe it was a penalty on Duba. Everyone has seen the images.
“The second goal they scored, it was a free kick for us, but it becomes a free kick for them and gives them their second goal.”
“I don’t want to put pressure on the referees, they are human and they make mistakes. But I urge the body of the league to bring in VAR to help the referees. We feel we are being punished in every game.”
