Polokwane Coach Reveals Plan To Stifle Chiefs' Ngcobo

Polokwane Coach Reveals Plan To Stifle Chiefs' Ngcobo

Polokwane City coach Phuti Mohafe has revealed how they planned to stop Nkosingiphile Ngcobo from causing any damage.

Chiefs needed a solitary strike from Pule Mmodi to seal a 1-0 win over Rise and Shine at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Mohafe claims they put Manuel Kambala on the Chiefs attacking midfielder, which gave them a better chance.

"You check the striker that we brought in (Hlayisi Chauke), he's, more mobile, he can also hold onto the balls, so we wanted to play the balls between the full-backs and the centre-backs," the coach told SuperSport after the game.

"We bring in (Manuel) Kambala because we thought Ngcobo is having a free role, with his off the ball runs he's out-running (Ndamulelo) Maphangule.

"So we had to bring in somebody with a little bit of speed element and that worked for us, hence we started to maintain and contain them."

Rise and Shine currently find themselves in 11th position on the DStv Premiership table after the defeat to Chiefs.

Polokwane will only be back in action on 23 December when they take on Chippa United at the Buffalo Stadium.
