Maponyane’s opinion on Nurkovic
Marks Maponyane, the Kaiser Chiefs’ top scorer and Orlando Fire icon, gave an exclusive insight into Nurkovic’s departure and the challenges the striker has faced since recovering from injury. Mapognane said:
“I think he started well and was reliable. But when he came back from injury, he faced difficulties.” Maponyane continued: “Maybe because of a lack of fitness and confidence. On the other hand, the character of the players [at Chiefs] also didn’t help his success.”
Maponyane stressed that Kaiser Chiefs should make a smart decision regarding Nurkovic’s departure, as they did with Khama Billiat, focusing on the club’s financial situation. Maponyane states:
“I think they had to make a business decision at the time to let Nurkovic go. Let’s face it, he’s doing well at TS Galaxy now.”
