Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi says his side creates good opportunities but admits their biggest problem is scoring goals.

The Glamour Boys extended their winless run in the Betway Premiership following a 2-0 defeat against Polokwane City on Sunday.

Amakhosi conceded goals in either half through Oswin Appollis and Mokibelo Ramabu at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Chiefs now find themselves sitting in ninth place with 11 points from eight games, while Rise and Shine are in third place with 17 points from 10 matches.

“We controlled the game maybe 90 minutes, against a strong a team like Polokwane. Polokwane created two opportunities, it’s two goals. Kaizer Chiefs created 265 opportunities. This is football, it’s a problem of Kaizer Chiefs,” Nabi told SuperSport TV after the game.

“To score. I think we’re the best team in the PSL to create really opportunities. We don’t have another solution, only to continue to work seriously.

“I don’t want to kill the morale of my players today, I want to support them, I want to continue to work seriously and this is football,” the Tunisian said.

“I have confidence in my players, I have confidence in the future, we’re in the right direction. The owners know what we want, what we needed, we’re clear and confident, my staff and myself. Don’t worry Kaizer Chiefs will come back, we’re in the right direction,” the former AS FAR Rabat coach said.

“I’m 200 percent sure we’re in the right direction. Everyone who is critical doesn’t know football. We need to support the players too much because they gave 200 percent today. Don’t forget we have young players, they need support,” Nabi continued.

“This is football, you have objectives, step by step. I observed my team’s progress, the only problem is scoring.”
