Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi had nothing but praises for his new signings who were in the starting eleven during their 2-2 draw against AmaZulu on Tuesday.
The Tunisian tactician surprised everyone by granting Tashreeq Morris, Glody Lilepo and Thabo Cele their first start since joining Chiefs and it paid off as Morris and Lilepo were both involved in Chiefs’ goals.
Morris had missed out on Saturday’s Soweto Derby due to suspension while Cele and Lilepo came in as substitutes.
Speaking to SuperSport after the game, Nabi said, “I am happy with Tashreeq and even Lilepo and Cele.
“You saw with the two goals scored, one was Tashreeq and the second was Lilepo.
“Even Cele, before he tired was bringing a lot of fluidity and smartness. Lilepo, Tashreeq and even Thabo were tired in the second half. We felt that with more preparation they could even have helped more. But we feel the three signings are very good and can help us a lot.”
Amakhosi will now shift their focus to Friday’s match against Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium. They managed to salvage a 2-1 win in their last meeting which was less than a month ago.
Steve Barker’s side will be gunning for a win which has the potential of moving them to the fifth spot.
