Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has pinpointed three critical areas for improvement following a significant 4-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Phefeni Glamour Boys were eliminated from the Carling Knockout Cup by Manqoba Mngqithi’s troops in front of a full house at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Nabi expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance and asserted that such a loss would not occur again.
He emphasized the necessity for the team to enhance their decision-making, technical skills, and overall confidence as they aim to make a strong comeback.
NABI ON WHAT TO IMPROVE AT CHIEFS
“It will be very simple if you have to change your way of playing or your game plan every day,” said Nabi.
“It's true that we played against a quality team. They were pressing high and we knew that, that was going to happen.
“But what do we need? Do we need to play long balls to Vilakazi and the other players? No. Instead, we want to improve our quality of play. We were a little bit nervous.
“We need to improve our decision-making. We need to improve our technique. We need to improve our confidence with the teammates.
“Because sometimes you get a ball and your teammates are reluctant to ask for the ball. For example, in Build-up, you have the solution.
“For example, in every build-up, you have to have a solution. Sundowns were pressing. But you need to have a simple solution. Not [make] a bad decision.
“[We were not] making good decisions but this is part of the learning curve.”
