Kaizer Chiefs have returned from a demanding two-week pre-season camp in the Netherlands with renewed purpose and a clearer tactical direction under head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
While Kaizer Chiefs only won one game out of five, the primary focus was on team conditioning and tactical alignment.
Meanwhile, coach Nabi has reviewed new players such as Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, Nkanyiso Shinga and Thabiso Monyane.

“They need to fully jell with the group,” Nabi said. “However, they are all adapting nicely, and they start to understand what I expect from them. Our objective was to sign new players that will bring us to a higher level compared to last season.
“We saw a lot of positives in our training matches against very strong Dutch opponents. The players have started to understand the way I want them to play, and they jell well as a strong unit.

“We didn’t only want quality opponents, we also wanted quantity. Parallel with this, we did some tough physical work at training, even doing double sessions on the day before a match… We even had two sessions the day after one of the friendlies, with the objective of getting the players mentally ready,” Nabi concluded.
