Shabalala explains why Kaizer Chiefs players struggle after leaving Naturena - 'Amakhosi match European standards'

Kaizer Chiefs players struggle to have a positive impact when they leave the Naturena Village either permanently or on loan. Their impact at the club has also not been convincing.Chiefs legend Siphiwe Tsahabalal was asked to explain why it happens like that, and the former winger was quick to point out the softness of the Amakhosi life which makes players complacent.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"For quite some time, players tend to struggle when they leave Chiefs because of the environment, the facilities, it’s world-class, and the professionalism is the best," the former Bafana Bafana attacker told <a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/dstv-premiership/shabba-on-why-players-struggle-when-they-leave-chiefs/" target="_blank">iDiski Times</a>."We can match the European standard; when you go there, there’s security at the gate, you go in with your&nbsp;own&nbsp;parking spot, your own locker room, gym, and clean clothes in your basket. It’s up to you if you want to train in sweatpants or shorts or tights. It’s the best environment. When you are done you leave it there, you go have a decent meal and then you go home," Tshabalala explained the privileges enjoyed by the Chiefs players."But when you leave that environment, you go to another team, with all due respect, now you start changing in a car. Now you&nbsp;realise&nbsp;the little things you took for granted, in the parking lot you’re dressing in the car."You bring your&nbsp;own&nbsp;socks, there’s no showers, no lunch – you end up not caring about the most important things. You can become complacent, you arrive late because so and so is doing it and it looks like it’s normal in this environment."

WHAT TSHABALALA SAID

Tshabalala may have pointed out a concern that the management and technical bench would want to work on for the team to stand a chance of ending the trophy drought.Amakhosi signed good players at the start of the season who had enough experience to challenge for silverware.However, the Soweto giants have endured another campaign to forget as they are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/premier-soccer-league/table/yv73ms6v1995b5wny16jcfi3" target="_blank">struggling to finish inside the top eight</a> heading into the final day of the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It is interesting to see who the club will hire ahead of the 2024/25 season to help them end the nine-year trophy drought.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/pitso-mosimane-to-kaizer-chiefs-the-coach-signals-possible-move-to-amakhosi-on-social-media/bltfaa9ab611854b5fb" target="_blank">Pitso Mosimane hinted he may be joining Amakhosi</a> with his cryptic message after <a href="https://www.goal.com/lists/lifeline-for-pitso-mosimane-as-abha-club-climb-out-of-saudi-pro-league-relegation-zone-after-defeating-al-khaleej/blt2b556048d2b8891f" target="_blank">accomplishing his mission in the Middle East</a>.
