Kaizer Chiefs lose 3-0 at FNB
Today was not a great day for Kaizer Chiefs players and coach Nasreddine Nabi’s technical team.
Nasreddine Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs have been playing plenty of friendly matches behind closed doors. The latest was on Thursday afternoon.
KAIZER CHIEFS LOSE 3-0 TO TS GALAXY
With a little over two weeks left before the start of the Betway Premiership, Amakhosi took on Sead Ramovic’s Rockets at the FNB Stadium. The result was a 3-0 win over the Soweto giants, thanks to goals from Sphiwe Mahlangu, Puso Dithejane, and Thokozani Sibanyoni.
LEONARDO CASTRO WARNS GASTON SIRINO
Kaizer Chiefs supporters are super excited about Gaston Sirino at Amakhosi. Leonardo Castro has meanwhile warned the Uruguyan.
Finding out about Sirino’s move, Castro, who played at Sundowns before switching to Naturena, has revealed his warning to Sirino.
“Moving to Chiefs is all part of the job, which has come after a successful stay at Sundowns, where they always have a lot of players,” Castro told KickOff.
“I have told Gaston the truth about Chiefs, and he knows it. Chiefs is a club that will treat you well and Gaston has already felt it.
“Truth is that if Chiefs want to play with youngsters, then it is going to be difficult to compete against [the] experience and quality of Sundowns, who are competing in North Africa,” the Colombian added.
“You cannot be celebrating kasi football players at Chiefs because that is for Sunday League football and not professional soccer.
“Soccer is about being quick in making decisions and some of the players need to have the hunger and desire to see themselves moving beyond Chiefs,” Castro continued.
“Siyabonga Ngezana and Njabulo Blom were also listening and worked hard to move it abroad, but other players are still just enjoying being there even when not playing regularly.
“There are players with talent but no ambition at Chiefs. I was there at Chiefs and was honest about this and with the coach that they have now [Nasreddine Nabi], their fans deserve happiness now,” the Colombian added.
“It still hurts me that I never won trophies at Chiefs after losing the league title in the last game and lost the Champions League final,” Castro concluded.
