Kaizer Chiefs have a problem on their hands
New signing Inacio Miguel has been a revelation for Kaizer Chiefs – when he play’s.
The Angolan centre-back already has four yellows, which led to a one game suspension, and one red card, and it’s not even halfway through the PSL season.
“He’s a good defender, but I think he should learn to keep his cool and be a bit calm when he’s playing,” former AmaKhosi defender David Kannemeyer told FARPost.
“I think it’s frustration, but as a leader and being a captain, sometimes he’s doing well in that field.
“Well [bookings] happen in football, if things are not going well you end up, doing those wrong actions. Those actions come with consequences that may haunt the team. If he corrects that, get less bookings, Miguel will improve his game without a doubt.”
