Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic has revealed that he feels like he is being targeted by defenders in the PSL.

Amakhosi coach Ernst Middendorp recently voiced his opinion by suggesting that match officials should to protect the Serbian striker from harsh challenges.

The Serbian coward recently bagged his 10th goal of the season when he found the net during Amakhosi’s 1-1 draw against Black Leopards in the Absa Premiership.

‘I have been feeling like I am being targeted since the beginning of the season. But it’s a normal thing – they are defending their goals, and I am trying to score,’ Nurkovic told the media after picking up the Goal of the Month award on Thursday.

‘Every game is different and every player reacts differently, but we will see as the season continues.’

Nurkovic picked up the Goal of the Month award for December, but the Amakhosi striker felt like he should have won the award for his first goal since joining Chiefs.

‘I thought I would win this award earlier for my first goal for the club (against SuperSport United in August), but I am still happy that it is for a goal I scored in my very first hat-trick for Kaizer Chiefs,’ he added.
