Nkosingiphile Ngcobo admits to Kaizer Chiefs 'struggling mentally' but is confident Amakhosi are 'more than capable of challenging for top honours' - 'We have faith in our technical team'

Kaizer Chiefs have one of the best squads in the Premier Soccer League.

It is a perfect blend of talent and experience with varying ages from the back to the attack.

The supporters have been waiting for a decade to celebrate success in vain.

After finishing 10th in the 2023-24 season, coach Nasreddine Nabi was brought on board to help rebuild Amakhosi.

He has since signed a total of 10 players in the Mzansi summer and winter transfer windows.

However, Amakhosi are not getting it right, especially in the Premier Soccer League, where they are struggling to finish inside the top eight with just five rounds left to conclude the season.

Nkosingiphile Ngcobo concedes it is frustrating failing to get their targets right, but argues they have a technical bench capable of guiding them to the top.

“This period is very challenging and frustrating, but I really believe this is part and parcel of being at a big team like Chiefs. We need to know how to manage situations like this, and the only way to do it is to win our games," he said as quoted by Sowetan.

“You can say that mentally we've struggled to treat the games equally, but we go to each and every game wanting to win, same mentality, but sometimes we unfortunately lose those games [against lowly teams] and win the ones perceived to be more difficult."

"This current squad is more than capable of challenging for top honours, and I think that was evident at the start of the season, where we were unbelievable, scoring goals left, right and centre and teams knew that it was difficult to beat us. However, we have since been struggling to maintain consistency; that's our biggest problem," Ngcobo continued..

“We're a team, and we are in this together. We will continue to fight together as a team. We have faith in our technical team, there's no doubt about that," he concluded.

Ngcobo has been in and out of the Kaizer Chiefs squad owing to injuries and competition, but his talent is evident to all.

Just like other players, he should just step up and work on the team's consistency across all competitions.
