I Was the Problem at Kaizer Chiefs, Says Former Player Thriving in Europe
Former Kaizer Chiefs player Siyabonga Ngezana has found new heights in the Romanian League, but he’s quick to avoid taking a dig at his former club.
The 26-year-old defender made the move from Chiefs to SuperLiga club FCSB last year and has become a vital part of the team that finished the season at the top of the Romanian League table.
Rising Star in Europe
Ngezana’s journey to Europe has been impressive. His performances for FCSB have caught the attention of fans and pundits alike.
The young defender’s ability to read the game, solid tackling, and composure under pressure have contributed to his success.
His move to Europe has allowed him to showcase his talent on a bigger stage, and he’s thriving.
A Humble Approach
Despite his success, Ngezana remains grounded. When a user commented on his Instagram post, suggesting that “Chiefs was the problem,” Ngezana responded with humility: “not Chiefs, Siya was a problem.”
His refusal to criticize his former club shows maturity and respect for the team that helped shape his career.
FCSB’s Triumph
FCSB finished the regular season at the top of the log with 64 points from 30 games.
They now advance to the championship play-offs, where the top team qualifies for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, and the second team earns a spot in the Europa League qualifiers.
Ngezana, who signed a five-year contract with FCSB last season, has cemented his place in the starting lineup during the play-offs.
If FCSB clinches the league title, it will be their first in nine years.
Contrasting Fortunes
The fortunes of FCSB and Kaizer Chiefs couldn’t be more different. While Ngezana thrives in Europe, Chiefs find themselves in eighth place on the DStv Premiership table, with just 30 points from 23 matches.
The Soweto Giants haven’t won a cup in nine years and are a massive 23 points behind runaway log-leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, who are on track for their seventh consecutive league title.
In summary, Siyabonga Ngezana’s journey from Kaizer Chiefs to FCSB highlights the contrasting paths of the two clubs.
While Ngezana excels in Europe, Chiefs face challenges domestically. Football fans will be watching closely to see how both teams fare in the coming seasons1.
