Gaston Sirino winning mentality a big factor - Nasreddine Nabi

Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi says attacker Gaston Sirino’s winning mentality is going to be key in tomorrow’s Betway Premiership clash against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sirino, who joined Chiefs as a free agent last month after seven highly successful years at Sundowns has hit the ground running at Amakhosi, with a goal and assist to his name in the first two matches of the season. 

Nabi expects the 33-year-old to pick up from where he left off against AmaZulu on Wednesday night.

"Sirino is a great footballer and he's going to do the same as he did in the first two matches we've played, so he's going to give the best of himself," said Nabi.

"He has a winning mentality, and this is what he's going to do – he knows how to behave in competition, and we know that he's going to show what he can do."

The Tunisian mentor is fully aware that they are up against the best football club in Sub-Saharan Africa at present, but makes it known that in front of thousands of the Chiefs-loving supporters tomorrow, they will defend the pride of Amakhosi.

"Our opponents are also a great team, and not only in South Africa, but in Africa, but we also have to defend the pride of our team," he stressed.

"So whatever the situation will be, we are going to push so that we can get the three points on Saturday."
