Kaizer Chiefs Coach Nabi Pleads For Patience After 'accident' Against Supersport United

NASREDINNE NABI called it an accident and, while he claimed not to be giving excuses, swiftly pleaded with the Kaizer Chiefs fans to bear with their players following the 4-1 drubbing by SuperSport United on Tuesday night.

His time to address the media during the post-match conference was over, but the Chiefs coach extended it with a monologue specifically directed at the Khosi nation.

So, now I want to speak to the fans because I am not someone who runs away from my responsibility. I want to take this time to explain the situation and not necessarily give them excuses. It is true that todays results hurt them. And I am also the first person that it hurts.

This is not a game they should use to judge their team or at least the potential of their team. These kinds of accidents happen in all championships and it can happen that the score is higher than what we saw today. But it is not possible to be a good team three days earlier and then three days after you are a weak team. It is not possible.

And we cannot give excuses, but I am very understanding when it comes to my players and today I understood that they gave their best in the previous game and they are tired. So thats the reason I would like to ask that please be indulgent with your players. As you have done in the happy times, do it also in the difficult times.
