Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi says he is "200 percent sure" that the club are going in the right direction after the loss to Polokwane City.
The Amakhosi missed the chance to climb the Betway Premiership table after losing 2-0 to Rise and Shine on Sunday afternoon.
The Tunisian-born did not want to throw his players under the bus and instead gave them his confidence.

"We controlled the game maybe 90 minutes, against a strong a team like Polokwane. Polokwane created two opportunities, it's two goals. Kaizer Chiefs created 265 opportunities. This is football, it's a problem of Kaizer Chiefs," Nabi said on SuperSport TV.
"To score. I think we're the best team in the PSL to create really opportunities. We don't have another solution, only to continue to work seriously.
"I don't want to kill the morale of my players today, I want to support them, I want to continue to work seriously and this is football," the Tunisian said.
"I have confidence in my players, I have confidence in the future, we're in the right direction. The owners know what we want, what we needed, we're clear and confident, my staff and myself. Don't worry Kaizer Chiefs will come back, we're in the right direction," the former AS FAR Rabat coach said.
"I'm 200 percent sure we're in the right direction. Everyone who is critical doesn't know football. We need to support the players too much because they gave 200 percent today. Don't forget we have young players, they need support," Nabi continued.
"This is football, you have objectives, step by step. I observed my team's progress, the only problem is scoring."
When asked about his changes in the second half, he added, "Last game [people] said 'Nabi this and that' no problem. I'm very happy with the comeback of Potsane, he created too much opportunities for his first game this season. I'm very happy.
"But this is football, it's not every time you change it all. I'm not [Jose] Mourinho, I'm Nabi okay."
