Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has touched on the MTN8 quarter-final match between Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United.
The two teams played early August at the Orlando Stadium where the Buccaneers emerged victorious. Jose Riveiro’s men then went on to claim the trophy for the third successive season.
Amakhosi were not part of the tournament having finished outside the top eight last season. This weekend, Nabi’s men will play in their first cup competition of the season. Speaking to the media, the new Chiefs coach said he had been watching SuperSport United play this season.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Nabi says referee’s mistake helped Pirates beat SSU
“I am expecting a very challenging game, sincerely speaking they, SuperSport, are a very good team, I watched them in the MTN8 against Orlando Pirates where they almost won,” Nabi told the media.
“They had the possibility of winning, except for a referee mistake. They should not have received a penalty; it’s the reality.”
“Very aggressive commitment and tactically organized team, my colleague Gavin has a lot of skill and experience. He knows how to manage his people, and prepares his players, I’m expecting a very good game, challenging and let’s see what happens,” Nabi concluded.
Both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are in action this weekend in the Carling Knockout Cup. Amakhosi are in action on Saturday evening while the Buccaneers host Magesi FC in an afternoon kick-off.
