Please Don't Attack The Players, Says Nabi After Chiefs Suffer 10th Defeat Of The Season

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nabi Nasreddine has appealed to the clubs supporters to refrain from directing their frustrations at the players, following a disappointing loss to Golden Arrows at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.

The defeat to Abafana Besthende marked the Glamour Boys 10th loss of the season in the Betway Premiership, leaving them in eighth place on the log with 29 points from 23 matches.

Goals from Nduduzo Sibiya and Knox Mutizwa secured all three points for Arrows, while Yusuf Maarts solitary strike for Chiefs was not enough to salvage a point. With boos ringing out after Maarts missed penalty, Nasreddine took the opportunity to call for a calm and measured response, urging the fans to place their criticism on him, not the players.

'Don't panic please, and don't attack the players I offer to attack me now, it's normal, but don't attack the players. Protect the team and the players because the season is not finished, and I'm sure we will change the situation, he said.

Despite dominating possession and controlling large periods of the game, Chiefs were unable to capitalize on their chances. Nasreddine, however, remains resolute in his belief that the team must stay focused on the bigger picture.
