Abia Nale responds to Vladimir Vermezovic challenge

Nale responds to Vermezovic challenge

Posted: 2010-09-10 12:25

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Abia Nale concurs with his coach Vladimir Vermezovic that it is time he takes his game to another level. 

The Serbian says he has seen enough of Nale creating chances for his teammates, making the good runs and now he feels it is time the former Golden Arrows ace step it up. Nale is unfazed by Vermezovic's challenge vowing to respond the best way he knows how – making an impact in the field.
 
"Yeah it is time I start scoring goals," Nale says ahead of the first leg of the MTN8 semifinal on Saturday against Amakhosi's bitter rivals, Orlando Pirates. "I heard the coach when he spoke about me that I must start scoring goals and I agree with him that it is time I start doing that," Nale says. 
 
The 23-year-old, who's been partnering Knowledge Musona upfront playing as a second striker, says he's learnt a great deal from the young Zimbabwean.
 
"I have learned to be composed when I'm facing the goalposts like Knowledge, that's what I have learnt from him," he says.
 
Meanwhile, Nale, a Pirates development product, says he feels no pressure ahead of the Soweto Derby.
 
"It is like a cup final playing against Pirates, but there is no pressure. Even the first time I played against them I didn't feel any pressure and anyway it will be 11 vs. 11 in the field. I'm ready to give 150% for Chiefs in this match. The only concern is that we have been missing some chances, that's why the coach put me on the spot saying it is high time I start scoring goals," Nale says.
 
"I don't have that killer instinct yet, but I don't think what the coach said puts me under any pressure, because it is what I have to do. He's been very encouraging and keeps telling me I'm a good player,  that I do everything and I create chances. I know how to get myself into good positions but as I said the killer instinct is not there. I know the coach wants me to score the goals and I'm ready for the challenge," Nale adds.

Stonza: 2010-09-10 13:16

hope we wont see you crying....
Hpoe yuo wnt be running like a headless chicken you are, leaving the ball behind you..
my question to you is this, Musona tought you how to be composed or told you that you should be composed infront of goals? I mean, even my 9moths old boy knows that you must be composed infront of goal, but till he can kick a ball he will learn how to....

I see nothing wrong with Nale's parlance/phraseology, suprisingly, you accuse both Nale and KC supporters/fans of poor English whilst yours isn't a far cry to theirs - Who's fooling who? Whoever fibbed you that your grammar is of the highest standard, should be ashamed of herself - Anyway, I am not that much interested in English but football, I really hope that Nale will prove once more that he's a KC material.

Wandile : 2010-09-10 13:53

Saw Nale with Bongane "Smutsa" Twala @ Gold Reef. It made sense y he falls 4 no reason & runs away when biger players charge @ him. Nale is pintsized.

Mara this thing about Knowledge teaching him to be composed is jus cracking me up.

Wonder: 2010-09-10 13:54

Prof: 2010-09-10 13:50

Nale is indeed a ch!mps material, we all know how low the standards are there!!!!

Desmond : 2010-09-10 14:07

Hey wena Prof,Thwala is stil injured .but i think Nale will kill Pirates.watch dis.khosi 4life.

Wont dissapoint my colleague who bought me tickets by telling him the truth.... Like recent matches between these teams, I foresee a dull 0-0 draw and another in the return leg with Cheats winning on penalties.

Good thing drinks are no longer expensive like that ugly excuse for beer we were forced to drink during the World Cup.

Wandile : 2010-09-10 14:26

Someone kiled me Ysterday by comparing bo Teko to Iniesta and other Spanish players...

Can u please post that comparison again... I literally laughed alone in da office.

Gud 2 bak on Kick-Off. U guys are the Best. Are those clowns Broken Fender and Thabang stil around?

Great-1: 2010-09-10 14:36

The soul provider be strong my man i know you capable of doing good things to kaizerchiefs you started wel then they tried you in diffent possition VV please stop chopping and changing and leave nale alone you've let nkambule go to me you are still suspicious never the less boy please stop the talks and score two goals for us and make sure that Lucky Legwathi leaves the pitch with a stretcher full of cramps its usual for him to have cramps when his against you.
