Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has revealed one massive change he has seen he has observed within the team since his arrival, particularly in comparison to the previous season.
The Tunisian coach guided Amakhosi to their first victory in the Betway Premiership opener against Marumo Gallants on Saturday at the Toyota Free State Stadium.
The club’s youngsters Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi scored the goals for the Phefeni Glamour Boys.
Nabi says he is pleased seeing that his team doesn’t give in anymore when they concede a goal, stating that they have a team spirit to fight back.
Chiefs conceded an early goal courtesy of Gallants left-winger Sekela Sithole in the 8th minute. Amakhosi came back and scored in 17th and 79th minutes to claim the victory.
THE MAJOR CHANGE NABI IS HAPPY ABOUT IN CHIEFS TEAM
“The most pleasing difference I see in the team from last season is the winning attitude of the players. Before, if they conceded a goal, heads would drop. This is an important change in culture, which I am very happy about,” he said via the club's official website.
“I am very happy with all the new players who played but I don't want to speak about it too much yet because it's still early.
“Coaching this Club is a big responsibility and I want to thank the Kaizer Chiefs management for bringing in these new players and giving me the
“green card” work with and I am happy with a good start.”
Chiefs are next in action against AmaZulu on Wednesday, 25 September on the road. The match will be played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium at 19:30.
