Nabi seeks scoring fix during international break

Yesterday at 07:00 AM

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has called for patience at the club and to trust the process despite suffering their ninth defeat of the season when they fell short against Richards Bay 2-0 in a Betway Premiership clash at the King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday.

Dealt with another blow in the league, Chiefs remained in eighth position in the league table with 29 points from 22 matches.

As the inconsistency continues at the Soweto club, pressure continues to mount on Nabi. However, the Tunisian tactician is positive that he will turn things around and believes that they are on the right path.

"We are in the process of rebuilding a team and a big club such as Kaizer Chiefs is not built in six or seven months, you need more time than that," Nabi told the media according to SowetanLIVE.

"We know exactly what we need to have a better team or club. And it is not today because we are losing and tomorrow when we are winning and say the opposite. I have to emphasise that we are in the building process and we know exactly what we need."

Second half goals from Fezile Gcaba and Yanele Mbuthuma secured a victory for Bay against a struggling Kaizer Chiefs side that has only scored twice in their last five league games, including going scoreless in their previous two.

Coach Nabi now has the international break to address these offensive woes before their next match against Golden Arrows on 30 March at the Mpumalanga Stadium.

"I think we play games every three days and there is not much you can work on when you play every three days. We have been struggling in that area and we hope that with the international break, we can work on certain things," he said.

"But we were lacking a little bit of a big striker that can fight for the ball and we have to give credit to Richards Bay; they fought for the three points."
