Afternoon, Khosi Nation! 💛🖤
I think we need to change the way we approach and deal with players' emotions. Sometimes, we forget that footballers are human beings too, and they go through personal challenges just like everyone else.
If you remember, Mdu or Die Shabalala went through a difficult period not so long ago when things were not going well between his parents. That situation affected him, and I honestly believe he hasn't been the same since then.
Don't get me wrong, Shabalala is a professional footballer, and he understands the demands that come with playing for a big club like Kaizer Chiefs. But before he is a footballer, he is a human being with feelings and emotions.
Let's not forget that Mdu or Die is one of the best young talents we have at the club. At some point, especially last season, if my memory serves me right, he was one of the players carrying this team.
Khosi Nation, let's give the boy the support, encouragement and understanding he needs. Sometimes, all a player needs is to feel loved and appreciated. A happy and confident Shabalala is a different player altogether.
Let's support our own. Criticism has its place, but so does compassion. 💛🖤
