Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane has again backed much-maligned Siyabonga Ngezana after another poor display by the defender in Amakhosi’s 2-0 DStv Premiership loss to Cape Town City.
“Siya is one of those defenders who can win those battles at the back and Zitha [Kwinika] and [Njabulo] Ngcobo [are too]. Ngcobo's been out of some time and now he’s doing well and has been given an opportunity to play.”
Kwinika, Ngcobo and Ngezana played as three centrebacks in Chiefs' system against City. Zwane said it is a matter of improving the understanding between his defenders, which he’s confident will happen soon. “We’re actually looking for tactical understanding in terms of the balance at the back when we defend. We’ll be changing as there will be games where we play with three and others with two central, and then have the fullbacks on the right and left.
“It depends on the game approach, but ja, it’s one of those things where you’re looking for combinations — you want to get the combinations right and then something happens. But that’s part of the game, we can’t complain. “We can only learn and it also tests us as coaches as to where we can improve and help the players excel.”
