In a recent development, Kaizer Chiefs’ head coach, Molefi Ntseki, has issued a response to the comments made by Bafana Bafana boss, Hugo Broos, regarding the selection of Amakhosi players.
Broos, for the second time in succession, decided not to include any Kaizer Chiefs players in the national team, stating that none of Ntseki’s players deserved a call-up.
Broos Opts to Exclude Kaizer Chiefs Players
Hugo Broos’ decision to exclude Kaizer Chiefs players from the national squad for a second time has raised eyebrows within the footballing community.
When questioned about his choices, Broos asserted that none of the players from Ntseki’s squad merited a place in the national team.
Ntseki’s Response to Broos’ Comments
Following Kaizer Chiefs’ 2-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC at the Athlone Stadium, Molefi Ntseki expressed his disappointment at Broos’ assessment.
He conceded that, according to Broos, his players did not meet the standards for national team selection.
Ntseki, in response to Broos’ stance, shared his perspective on the matter.
He acknowledged that the decision ultimately rested with the national team coach, Broos.
Ntseki also highlighted the absence of clear criteria or guidelines provided by Broos for player selection.
This lack of transparency left Kaizer Chiefs and the football community at large in the dark about what specific qualities the national coach was seeking in players.
Ntseki’s Outlook on the Situation
Despite the setback, Ntseki emphasized that the Kaizer Chiefs team was highly motivated.
He acknowledged the necessity of redoubling their efforts to demonstrate both to the public and themselves that their team possessed the requisite quality to compete at the international level.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Recent Performance and Upcoming Challenges
Kaizer Chiefs’ recent triumph over Stellenbosch FC marked their second consecutive victory in the current campaign.
This success catapulted them to fifth place in the league standings, a promising sign for the team.
With five games played thus far this season, the team’s renewed momentum and winning streak could not have come at a better time, as they gear up for a significant clash against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 competition scheduled for the upcoming Saturday.
In conclusion, Molefi Ntseki’s measured response to Hugo Broos’ comments reflects his professionalism and determination to guide his team, Kaizer Chiefs, to greater heights.
The exclusion of Kaizer Chiefs players from the national team will undoubtedly serve as a motivating factor for both the players and the coaching staff as they aim to demonstrate their quality on the pitch in upcoming matches.
