Pirates legend comments on Gabadinho Mhango’s ill-discipline

Chabalala has a big question for Mandla Ncikazi and Fadlu Davids. What is the logic behind the freezing of Gabadinho Mhango due to reported ill-discipline?

“If I were to coach Pirates, I would prioritise playing players based on their performances in training because at the end of the day it would be me whose job would be on the line if results were not coming the team’s way,” Chalalala said via Soccer Laduma.

“Some of the things I see at the club from a distance are not sitting well with me and I wish that players are selected on merit. Let me give you an example of Gabadinho Mhango who is not playing, and I don’t understand the logic behind his omission,” said Chabalala.

“I hear stories of discipline and all of that but for me I wouldn’t care as a coach about the player’s discipline away from the team and I would judge them based on performance in what I see in training.

“It’s so frustrating to hear coaches talking about building because we have been building all the time. Until when we will be building? It’s so frustrating. For me, whoever is performing in training should be selected for matches,” the former central defender added.
