Kaizer Chiefs

In their resolve to strengthen the defence department, Kaizer Chiefs signed Angola international Inacio Miguel from Petro Atletico.Having won a treble in his home country with his former club, the 28-year-old was meant to bring experience and leadership at the back as the Soweto Giants re-strategised owing to their extended poor run.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Since joining Amakhosi, Miguel has played six competitive games for the Glamour Boys.However, he has since received four yellow cards and a red card. The initial suspension saw him miss the Premier Soccer League game against Magesi FC.He returned in the Carling Knockout quarter-final outing with Mamelodi Sundowns and was sent off during the 4-0 defeat.As a result, the bulky defender will miss the Wednesday game against Richards Bay at the FNB Stadium.Despite being labelled as an indisciplined player, coach Nasreddine Nabi has defended him.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

“Miguel has no problem with discipline. He’s a good guy, he’s a really [good] captain,” Nabi told the media.“But you know, he’s a new in South African football. He needs small time for adaptation, not only for the football, but for all the atmosphere."If he’s received more [cards], I agree with you, he’s received more, but I think he wants to give a maximum for Kaizer Chiefs. Sometimes he’s too much. But honestly, he’s a very good guy, his personality, I love this guy. “But he’s promised me more; I don’t want more discipline, because he is an example of discipline, inside and outside, but to be more careful, yes.”

WHAT NABI SAID

Kaizer Chiefs are winless in their last three Premier Soccer League games. They were defeated by Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United respectively before drawing with Magesi.Coach Nabi and his arsenal are determined to give their fans victory at home after 25 days without a competitive fixture.
