Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane has defended his defender Njabulo Ngcobo for a tantrum that followed the centreback's substitution in Amakhosi's 2-1 DStv Premiership defeat to Lamontville Golden Arrows in Durban on Wednesday.
Njabulo Ngcobo of Kaizer Chiefs is calmed by teammates after his argument with goalkeeper-coach Lee Baxter after the player reacted angrily when he was substituted in the DStv Premiership match against Golden Arrows at Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu, Durban on April 27 2022.
Ngcobo has come in for criticism on social media, but Zwane felt the defender actually was angry at himself for his mistakes, and the situation got out of hand.“He gave the ball away in the wrong areas and we were punished. I don't view it as something where other people may see it as bad.“I don't see it that way. I was a player myself, so I believe he was upset with himself.
“As much as I expected him to do better that was his decision at the end of the day. But we learn from it, and we move on.”
