Chiefs To Use Pirates Weapon Vs Sundowns?

Chiefs To Use Pirates Weapon Vs Sundowns?

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi

With question marks on whether Kaizer Chiefs would have a different approach when head coach Nasreddine Nabi is expected to return against Mamelodi Sundowns, Nabi has been urged to copy the game plan by Orlando Pirates.

Chiefs have won all their three matches in the Betway Premiership thus far, keeping a clean sheet in the games in the process, without Nabi, who was gramted leave.

With Sundowns up next in their fixture next Wednesday, Amakhosi supporters are anxious on what the former Young Africans coach could change on what has been working with his assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef in temporary charge.  

Pirates appeared to give Masandawana problems in their MTN8 semi-final first leg with the speed of Kamogelo Sebelebele and former Amakhosi coach Farouk Khan believes The Glamour Boys should not overlook the speed factor that can also be brought by Ashley Du Preez, who not been starting games.

"I would like to go with a quick player like Du Preez, I think Du Preez could be a solution, Du Preez last season was scoring important goals, he has been out of favour for some reason," Khan said on Soccerbeat YouTube Channel.

"But when a player is sitting that long on the bench he becomes hungry as well, he may want to prove a point and we know when he came to Chiefs, how important and impactful he was. 

"So maybe go with him, he can cause problems for Sundowns defence, they have challenges in that defensive back-four, sometimes back-three, they are not always as comfortable as they should be and now is the most opportune time to put one over Sundowns, because there is a lot of problems in their camp, you can see there's a lot of instability," Khan added. 

Du Preez has only played 33 minutes off the bench in the win over Stellenbosch so far this season.
