Kaizer Chiefs’ two new signings stirring up trouble
Kaizer Chiefs have had a tumultuous start to the season, enduring shock defeats and poor behaviour by a few players.
Kaizer Chiefs seems to have signed two problem players: Inacio Miguel and Gaston Sirino.
Along with five other signings, both players joined during the offseason as AmaKhosi look to bounce back from their worst league finish in its history, finishing a sobering tenth.
Sirino and Miguel have been outstanding for Kaizer Chiefs, pumping new blood into a once-clotted team.
However, the latter player’s two suspensions in his first two months have caused Nasreddine Nabi selection headaches, while the Uruguayan midfielder has been reportedly skipping practice.
More on the Sirino situation
According to Siya sources, “the midfielder allegedly fakes injuries and refuses to train. Only to return to action as matchday approaches.
“This pattern of behaviour has reportedly caused frustration within the Kaizer Chiefs camp. This especially with head coach Nasreddine Nabi and the club’s management, who expect a high level of professionalism. The 33-year-old’s actions have already led to disciplinary action, with the club making it clear that such behaviour cannot continue.
“Although there is a sense of understanding regarding the pressures that players face, Sirino’s conduct has been deemed unacceptable, and it has begun to affect his standing within the squad.”
Ill-disciplined, but good on his day
Former Kaizer Chiefs defender David Kannemeyer offered Angolan centre-back Miguel some advice, saying, “He’s a good defender, but I think he should learn to keep his cool and be a bit calm when he’s playing,
“I think it’s frustration, but as a leader and being a captain, sometimes he’s doing well in that field.
“Well [bookings] happen in football, if things are not going well you end up, doing those wrong actions. Those actions come with consequences that may haunt the team. If he corrects that, get less bookings, Miguel will improve his game without a doubt.”
