People who don’t support Kaizer Chiefs criticize him - Sabail's Ekstein defends Middendorp

Sabail FK attacking midfielder Hendrick Ekstein has backed his former coach at Kaizer Chiefs, Ernst Middendorp.

The German tactician has been criticised by some fans since the turn of the year with Amakhosi blowing hot and cold, but they remain at the top of the PSL log.

Ekstein, who was part of the Chiefs first-team between 2014 and 2019, reflected on his time with the Naturena-based giants while working with Middendorp and Steve Komphela.

“I was playing under coach Steve and I did well whenever I was given a chance, and under coach Middendorp I was able to contribute more to the team,” Ekstein told MarawaTV.
