I repeat: Morocco is the most pathetic AFCON host in history.🚮 World-class stadiums, village behavior. Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to describe it. Ball boys targeted Nwabali and took his towel vs Nigeria a few days ago. He reacted, and the whole country lost its mind! So Entitled. They did it again, with help from Captain Achraf Hakimi this time vs Senegal. He literally took Mendy’s towel and threw it to the ball boys to hide it. It got so bad that Senegal’s reserve gk,Yehvann Diouf, had to stand next to the post to hold Mendy’s towel, but the Moroccan ball boys went to attack him and dragged the Nice GK on the ground trying to take the towel. Professional footballers dragged by ball boys and the Federation awards Morocco FAIRPLAY award??💀 This embarrassing behavior can not go unpunished. CAF must never take football back to this country. I don't even want to talk about the officiating that got them to the final. Infrastructure alone does not qualify you to host AFCON. Respect and fair play matter, and this has been disrespectful to African football. Barbaric, at the least.🚮

The build-up to Kaizer Chiefs’ second goal is a perfect example of why having a profile capable of functioning between the lines is so important when trying to create bigger attacking moments. Baartman was making the forward runs to support Ighodaro as the 9 and add numbers into the box, but Chiefs lacked enough presence between the lines to combine, manipulate and disrupt Sekhukhune’s defensive block. For long stretches, we were reduced to harmless circulation despite controlling possession. A 10’s willingness to occupy those spaces and half-spaces forces defenders into difficult decisions. Look at the sequence leading to the second goal: ■ First, Phili and Nkgwesa combine to connect with Mdu, who receives between the lines, turns and immediately looks for a penetrative pass. It is intercepted, but the intention is clear. ■ Seconds later, Mdu makes the same movement again into space. This time, the CB follows him, leaving space behind the defensive line. Mdu spins into that space, Ndlovu recognises it and threads a perfectly weighted through ball. Mdu gets in behind and finishes calmly. That is the value of using space intelligently. But, most importantly, the quality of finishing is very important because all this won't matter if we do not finish the chances we create. Mdu didn’t need to touch the ball repeatedly to influence the attack. His movement alone manipulated the defensive structure, created separation and opened the kind of penetration Chiefs had lacked for long periods against Sekhukhune. Possession gives you control. But occupying the right spaces gives you access to the goal. We need to improve this balance📝

Nkosingiphile “Mshini” Ngcobo vs Golden Arrows📝 ■ Missed chances? Yes. No argument✅️ But people are now lying to us and, more importantly, lying to themselves by attributing things to Mshini that simply did not happen: ■ Mshini slowed the tempo or killed our momentum. Lie❌️ ■ Mshini kept making risky back passes. Lie❌️ ■ Mshini stalled the attack. Lie❌️ If Mshini had a terrible game beyond the missed chances, show us. Point to the moments. Explain the football. Don't just repeat a narrative because you already decided you don't like the player. Coach Da Cruz didn't select Mshini because he's been at Chiefs for 5 years. He selected him because Mshini offered the qualities and options he wanted from the No.10 position. Look at the patterns of play with Mshini there and compare that with the 2nd half... And that's exactly how we should judge him: on his actual performance. Some are judging him on his performance, acknowledged🤝🏾 But here's where the Mshini haters suddenly lose their objectivity. The midfield was poor. The midfield offered very little control, progression or creativity. Yet somehow, Mshini must carry the responsibility for everyone else's shortcomings in that midfield because admitting that other players were also poor would interfere with the agenda. Below is Mshini’s 1st 45 minutes vs Golden Arrows...📝

Inside Kaizer Chiefs' Second-Half Tactical Dominance📝 Kaizer Chiefs produced a far more balanced and purposeful attacking display in the second half. There was greater tactical flexibility in their movement, improved intensity in and out of possession, and better decision-making in the final third. The constant rotation of positions made it difficult for Kruger United to maintain their defensive shape, creating more space and allowing Chiefs to attack with greater fluency and control. A far more dynamic display in attack with Vilakazi mostly receiving inside that wide. ■ Chiefs showed patient but purposeful ball circulation, refusing to force attacks but moving the ball a bit quicker than usual. There were quick passing sequences, one-touch combinations and improved third-man movements which manipulated Kruger's defensive block, creating spaces to penetrate in the half-spaces and from both flanks. We made it difficult for them to break out and progress when we decided to press. ■ Ethan Chislett was the tactical heartbeat in the 10 role. He freely roamed across the final 3rd, creating overloads between the lines and dragging defenders out of position. His pressing was good, contributed directly to the sequences that led to both goals. His movement allowed both Baartman (LW) and Vilakazi (RW) to invert into central pockets without sacrificing width. ■ The chemistry between Chislett, Baartman and Vilakazi created constant positional rotations that made Chiefs unpredictable. As Kruger narrowed to protect central spaces, Monyane and Frosler aggressively attacked the wide channels, stretching the defensive block while remaining tactically disciplined after offensive actions. You'll see Frosler moving into a more inverted role when Monyane pushes to cross and vice versa. ■ Despite committing numbers forward, Chiefs remained structurally balanced. I was impressed with the aggressive counter-press which saw the team recover possession very quickly, preventing Kruger from transitioning and also it allowed us to sustain relentless attacking momentum. The goals came from continued attacking momentum, and good ball circulation. ■ The team built attacking moments on controlled possession, repeated ball circulation and well balanced off-the-ball movement rather than individual brilliance. Every ball recovery immediately initiated another attacking phase, pinning Kruger United deep until the pressure eventually produced the goals that sealed the victory. This team delivered an impressive performance despite being without key talents like Asanele Velebayi, Mduduzi Shabalala, and new signing Langelihle Phili. ■ The depth, structure, and quality on display should give Kaizer Chiefs supporters plenty of encouragement. Kaizer Chiefs of coach Fernando Da Cruz...📝

Kaizer Chiefs vs Scottland FC📝 Kaizer Chiefs passing patterns and attacking combinations for the 1st 45 minutes📝 ■ Kaizer Chiefs showed better variety in some moments in possession, effectively mixing direct attacks in behind with shorter passing combinations to bypass Scottland's press and progress into the final 3rd. We shifted between 325 and a 3223 depending on moments. Vilakazi occupying the right half space while Monyane aggressively pushed high on the right with Velebayi doing the same in the opposite flank. Reeve Frosler was often the makeshift LCB in a back 3. Chislett took the left half space but showed greater flexibility across the final 3rd. ■ The team's attacking structure and passing patterns looked quick and less predictable, creating several promising situations with good rotations and combinations. Chislett, Vilakazi and Velebayi combining multiple times to create some good moments. ■ The biggest weakness remained the final action. Too many attacks broke down because of poor decision-making, inconsistent execution, and a lack of quality in the final action. ■ While some of these shortcomings are expected from players still in their developmental phase, others simply require a higher level of technical and tactical quality in decisive moments. The structure is creating the opportunities; the execution now has to match it. So far, there is something to build on. The first half looked better in a lot of areas compared to the second half. But the team managed to protect the narrow lead to the end. 📝

![Possession vs Progression: Patience or Lack of Ideas? Is Kaizer Chiefs showing more patience on the ball, or a lack of ideas to penetrate defensive blocks? Kaizer Chiefs were more comfortable in possession and better organised against Sekhukhune than against Golden Arrows over the weekend, but the key question was whether this represented patient control or a lack of attacking invention. Chiefs kept the ball but rarely broke lines. Circulation was often safe and predictable, with few passes between the lines, limited rotations in the final third and little movement behind the defence. Possession, therefore, did not consistently translate into clear chances. This also exposed structural and personnel issues in build-up. When we build in a 4-2 and the opposition blocks passing lanes to Maboe and Ox, progression becomes difficult. The fullbacks are not consistently high, while we lack enough quality from the back to play through pressure and connect with Baartman or Ighodaro moving into the half-spaces or behind pressure. These are passes a player like Aden McCarthy used to provide more naturally, but we often resort to long balls with poor accuracy. Midfield control is another concern. Ox made more passes into the final third[14] than Maboe, despite Maboe playing as the 8. We need the 8 to be more influential in these areas, helping control the flow and connect midfield with attack. Ox was effective at winning the ball and playing forward, but that responsibility cannot fall primarily on him given his technical flaws once the expectations rise. Sekhukhune's passive press gave Chiefs comfort on the ball, but it also highlighted how dependent our possession can be on the opponent's approach. We can circulate when unpressured, but still struggle to play through a well-organised press. Ighodaro is another example: he often drops too deep to get involved, yet when he makes runs behind the defence, he is not consistently found even when the space is available..we lacked players brave enough to play "that pass". We also rely too heavily on low-probability long shots instead of getting the ball into the box for players such as Silva, Ighodaro and Duba. Final-third decision-making has to improve. We need to get our best midfielders on the ball more often and, once we reach the attacking third, consistently find our most dangerous players in positions where they can hurt the opposition. We struggled to get Phili in the game in the 1st half. The second half was an improvement on the pointless circulation of the first. Chiefs played more forward, increased the intensity a little and benefited from substitutions that brought better movement in the final third. Instead of simply passing around Sekhukhune's block, we began moving it, creating spaces from both wide and central areas and the goals followed. Having a player capable of operating between the lines also made a difference by providing a link between midfield and attack. There are clear signs of progress in the coach's positional model, particularly in our ability to retain the ball and control games for longer periods. However, possession must become more consistently penetrative. This is also a squad-balance issue. The coach has asked for 4 attacking reinforcements, and management is yet to provide them[Only Phili came and Faiz is more of a project buy than a player who comes and hits the ground running] Some of these limitations, if attended to, should improve with better attacking profiles, but the existing group must still make better decisions in the final third. The progress is there, but the next step is turning possession into progression, and progression into consistent chances.

![No integrity at all from coach Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youseff. Both coach Kaze and Khalil have started speaking against the same things they gladly accepted while at Kaizer Chiefs. No backbone, you start to understand that they don't operate with principles, they chase immediate opportunities no matter what its worth. Listening to Khalil speak now, it's clear that success was always going to be difficult under his guidance with Kaze. He openly admits he never liked the co-coaching arrangement, questioning the football logic behind management's decision to implement it. He points out that top clubs rarely operate that way and laughs at this. He started by highlighting how decisions can become difficult to make when you don't agree but each strongly believes in his own approach. He later mentions that they had disagreement with substitutions with Kaze, an area we always looked like a team without a coach. Yet, the contradiction is that he was willing to accept the role and become part of the very structure he now criticizes. The same applies to coach Kaze. Today, he confidently speaks about the unrealistic expectations management had given the quality of the squad[reaching CAFCL spot]. But he, too, accepted the position that became available after his head coach was removed with this mandate without hesitation. The Kaizer Chiefs management and their inconsistency in decision-making have played a major role in the club's struggles over the years. These interviews and many more, keep revealing this. Khalil and Kaze got the job because they were an easy excuse to get rid of a coach who demanded better from those who have power to change things at the club. They did not get the job because they were good enough. That's why they now laugh at the demands and arrangements they had to face at the club. This is what happens when a club looks for shortcuts instead of establishing a clear football structure and supports its own decisions. The unfortunate reality is that Kaizer Chiefs' management continues to avoid accountability in such situations, rather direct the poor performance to someone else.
