We could have done better as a team, says Chiefs defender Miguel

INACIO Miguel is an honest footballer, and that’s why he feels the players, himself included, haven't done enough to help Kaizer Chiefs this season.

Miguel arrived at Chiefs last winter and quickly demonstrated leadership qualities, which led to him being appointed one of the clubs vice-captains. His season, however, has been inconsistent, contributing to Chiefs missing out on the MTN8, Carling Knockout, and Betway Premiership titles.

They could still claim silverware if they beat arch-rivals Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Saturday (kick-off 3.30pm).

Miguel and his teammates will head into that game on a low note after losing to Pirates in the league last Saturday — a result that further dented their morale. A win for Chiefs in the final would end their 10-year trophy drought, with their last silverware being the league title in 2015.

Despite the club’s significant investment in the squad — including signings such as Miguel — the return on that investment has yet to materialise.
