Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has revealed what he told his troops after their defeat to Marumo Gallants in the Betway Premiership.
Amakhosi's struggles continued at FNB Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they fell 2-1 to a determined Marumo Gallants side.
The home team initially went ahead courtesy of Glody Lilepo's first-half strike. However, Marumo Gallants fought back, with Matome Mathiane leveling the score before the break.
Daniel Msendami then sealed the victory for the visitors in the second half, condemning Kaizer Chiefs to a sixth consecutive match without a win.
Following the disappointing result, Coach Nasreddine Nabi revealed he impressed upon his players the need to immediately put the bad result behind them.
He emphasized the importance of focusing on the crucial upcoming fixtures, which include important league matches and the highly anticipated Nedbank Cup final.
NABI TOLD PLAYERS TO PUT THE BAD RESULT BEHIND HIM
“My apologies for the delay of the press conference,” said Nabi as quoted by iDiski Times.
“It’s true that we had a talk with the players, because after such a difficult position we are in after today’s game, you see that everybody is down and there is a lack of confidence.
“Sometimes you feel like some are giving up. So what I told is that there is no time to blame anyone or each other or trying to regret what happened because the result like today cannot come back.
“We have two very important games ahead of use that can still save our season. The derby is coming next weekend and there is the final of Nedbank…
“Everyone needs to assess himself with honesty and look at how he does in training and during games, and then we need to stick together and go into this coming week of preparation with our heads up.”
