Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has defended his players from Amakhosi fans after a disappointing loss to Golden Arrows on the weekend.

Kaizer Chiefs picked up a second successive loss on the weekend, falling 1-0 to Golden Arrows in the Betway Premiership.

Chiefs currently sit 8th after picking up three losses, a draw and a single win in their last five games.

Coach Nabi was then verbally attacked by along with his players for the downfall. Speaking post match, the Tunisian preferred to take the blame for the underwhelming performance and hoped his side will tactically improve given the season is nearing its end.

“I think the confusion is we need to score. If you need to win, you need to score. If you control the game… We look at the statistics after the game, statistics all for Kaizer Chiefs,” Nabi said in his post-match reaction.

“And it’s not the first game like that. The majority of the games are like that. I think the solution is clear. The solution for this situation is 100% clear. Maybe the time is not for us now for some things.

“But my message is patience! We don’t have any solution now, any patience, and continue to support the team. But I trust the fans of Kaizer Chiefs. Love the team too much. I want patience. Give me patience,” he added.

“I’m very sorry. Honestly, I’m very sorry for the result. I’m the first man with the big frustration. We understand altogether the frustration for the team, but please don’t panic. Don’t panic! We continue to work seriously to give 200% for the team.

“Don’t panic, please, and don’t attack the player. I’m open to attack me now; it’s normal, but don’t attack the player. Protect the team and the player because the season is not finished, and I’m sure the situation will change in the future,” Nabi said as he concluded.
