Kaizer Chiefs are 90 minutes away from lifting their first trophy in 10 years. Standing in the way are bitter rivals Orlando Pirates.
FOR THE KAIZER CHIEFS FANS
Speaking to the media ahead of the clash, Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has revealed that he wants Nedbank Cup glory for unhappy fans. “I respect the fans. It’s normal to be disappointed when your team is losing. Also me, I am not happy,” Nabi said.
“I am the first person affected by the results. I would like to win this Nedbank Cup for the fans. I would thank the fans and thank them for the support of the team.
“I played in the final last season with AS FAR (against Raja Casablanca). It was 1-1 and just one mistake and we lost the game. In the last five seasons I have been in five finals,” Nabi told Soccer Laduma.
“Three in Tanzania, one in Morocco and now one in South Africa. I think I have experience in finals. In finals you need self-control. You don’t receive pressure in the finals and I know my approach with the players. Honestly, I have the momentum and I know how to approach the finals,” Nabi concluded.
The Nedbank Cup final between Kaizer Chiefs and Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates will be on Saturday. Kick Off will be at 15:00 from the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
