Dillan Solomons talks about the rumours that Nasreddine Nabi is leaving the team for a new experience away from South Africa, and the talented defender seems to dismiss all these rumours and says the coaching team is focused on his responsibilities.

The rumours began to surface after Kaizer Chiefs won their only title of the season after a ten-year absence from the podium, the Nedbank Cup, at the expense of arch-rivals Orlando Pirates.

What the player said!

The halls of Naturena hum with whispered speculation, but inside the Kaizer Chiefs camp, there's only the steady rhythm of preparation. Defender Dillon Solomons stands firm amidst the growing storm of rumors surrounding coach Nasreddine Nabi's future, his words measured but resolute.

"Talk will always follow a club like ours," Solomons admits, his tone reflecting the weariness of a season filled with both promise and frustration. "But our path hasn't changed - it's still paved with morning training sessions, sweat on the pitch, and proving our worth to the badge." His message is clear: while the football world dissects every rumor, the players' world remains defined by controllable actions.

This single-minded focus couldn't come at a more crucial moment. As the Premier Soccer League season reaches its climax, the Soweto giants find themselves in familiar, uncomfortable territory - battling for a top-eight finish that once would have been considered the bare minimum. The ghosts of last season's disappointment loom large, with the specter of consecutive MTN8 absences threatening to become reality.

All roads now lead to the iconic FNB Stadium, where Saturday's encounter with Polokwane City has transformed into more than just a season finale - it's a referendum on the team's resilience. Three points would exorcise last season's demons and secure continental football; anything less risks plunging the club into another summer of introspection.

In these final days of preparation, Solomons and his teammates have chosen their battle - not against the rumor mill's relentless churn, but against the only opponent they can truly face: the one that stands between them and redemption come Saturday afternoon.
