Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has called on the Khosi faithful to play their role in upliftment following criticism on Thabo Cele’s substitution as well as captain Yusuf Maart constantly getting the stick.
Chiefs’ technical team and Maart have received so much criticism from the supporters throughout the season, some even questioning Maart’s leadership skills as the club captain and others even doubting Nabi’s coaching abilities.
In the Nedbank Cup final against Pirates, Chiefs supporters showed signs of not being happy when Thabo Cele was taken off for Sibongiseni Mthethwa.
Nabi addressed that the supporters should support them even in difficult times, also emphasizing the importance of Maart in the team.
“It’s true that the fans get too emotional and because they wanted it so bad to win the cup, sometimes their reaction is emotional,” Nabi said after their Ke Yona Cup triumph.
“We noticed when we subbed off Thabo Cele, they were not very happy, but we knew what we were doing.
“And on the other hand, Yusuf Maart has been suffering a lot, by being unfairly attacked and we see his contributions, his captaincy comes under question, but we saw what he contributes, we need the fans in our worst moments to lift us up…”
