Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt: What we must not 'blow up' Ngcobo early

The Amakhosi coach says there's only so much that can be coached and that the rest has to come from within the player himself

Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt is pleased with midfielder Nkosingiphile Ngcobo's progress but has cautioned the South African football fraternity not to get carried away with praise of the youngster.

Chiefs' transfer ban means Hunt has been forced to turn inwards to find solutions for his team and this has meant giving several of the club's younger players a chance.

So far it's worked as the likes of Njabulo Blom and Ngcobo have acquitted themselves well while Siyabonga Ngezana also had a solid game in defence during Chiefs' 1-0 win over Chippa United on Tuesday night.
