Johannesburg, November 5, 2024 — Nasreddine Nabi, head coach of the local football team, has come to the defense of young midfielder Samkelo Zwane, who has faced criticism following his performance in a recent match. Nabi emphasized the potential of the 21-year-old player, who he believes still has years of development ahead of him.
Zwane’s performance, which some pundits labeled subpar, was a topic of heated debate after the match. However, Nabi was quick to downplay the criticism, asserting that the young player should not be the sole focus of blame. "Zwane is a young player, he still has all those years ahead of him. He’s going to improve," Nabi stated in his post-match comments. "He wasn’t the worst player on the field. There were others, more experienced players, who underperformed.
The coach's remarks highlight a broader issue within the team’s recent struggles. Nabi pointed out that seasoned players with more experience should bear a larger share of the responsibility when things go wrong. "That’s why those experienced players need to take responsibility," he said, underscoring the importance of leadership and accountability among the senior squad members.
Zwane, who has been widely regarded as a promising talent, has had mixed performances in recent outings. However, his coach remains confident that with time and support, the young midfielder will continue to develop into a key player for the team.
As the team prepares for their next fixture, Nabi's message seems clear: while the younger players like Zwane may experience growing pains, it is the veterans who must lead by example and help steer the team to success
