A former teammate of Kaizer Chiefs defender Inacio Miguel has opened up on his alleged disciplinary issues.
Miguel has earned a reputation as a no-nonsense defender, who will put his body on the line, even if it means getting too many bookings.
As a result, the 28-year-old could also be seen as ill-disciplined as he has already picked up six yellow cards in six games for Amakhosi.

The former Petro de Luanda defender was suspended in Amakhosi's league game against Magesi for accumulation of yellow cards and just after he returned from his one-match ban against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals, he got two yellow cards and was red-carded.
Miguel will now miss the Glamour Boys' next two matches after the international break, which means he would have already missed three matches due to suspension, in ten games.
KickOff spoke to a former teammate of the Angolan centre-back at Petro, to find out if getting yellow cards has been part of his game or not.
"You see in three months he has an armband, he is a skipper of Chiefs, a big club. The way he puts himself in the games sometimes he is going to be booked because he's a new guy there, nobody knows him," the source at Petro de Luanda told this website.
"But if you check in the CAF Champions League he doesn't have many yellow cards. I know Miguel, he's a very strong guy, he puts everything in the game, sometimes his bravery can be seen in a bad way but he was good with us, I hope at Chiefs they like him because he's a very good defender."
An insider at the Angolan giants went on and suggested that his opposition and players at Chiefs, need to raise their level so he can be matched physically, rather than him toning down his aggression.

"Is he too physical for the PSL? When a defender is not physical, it's difficult because there's quality in the PSL and you have to be strong. If you're a defender with only quality, it's difficult," the source continued.
"You need muscles, you need leadership and sometimes leadership comes with yellow cards, red-cards, football is like that my friend.
"He's showing other guys they must step up you know, because Kaizer Chiefs is a big brand. You have more responsibility, so you need more bravery in the game," the insider added.
