Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi says he has a sense of responsibility ahead of the Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates.
The two sides will face off in the Soweto Derby on Saturday, 10 May at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in what will be a third meeting between the two SA giants. The match will kick off at 15:30.
Nabi’s troops lost both derbies – 1-0 in the first round and 2-1 in the second round.
The Tunisian tactician has insisted that there’s no pressure on their shoulders heading into the match. However, he stated that he feels he has responsibility to guide his side to victory on the day.
NABI – ‘I DON’T THINK THERE’S PRESSURE’
“I don’t think that there is going to be special pressure, but I have a special sense of responsibility going into the final,” he stated during the club’s media open day at the Kaizer Chiefs Village on Monday.
“It’s true that we still have the final to save our season and everybody – players, management and technical stuff – they know that everyone has the chance to put a smile on the fans’ faces.
“We believe that even though today we played against a very good team of Orlando Pirates, but at some point, we gave the breathing where we felt they will build fatigue, and we let them back into the game.
“We know that the players are going to respond very positively and are going to be up for the challenge of the Nedbank Cup final.”
