Nurkovic is inspiring other Kaizer Chiefs players - Middendorp

BetOdds PSL Kaizer Chiefs Mamelodi Sundowns

The 27-year-old scored twice against Mamelodi Sundowns to take his tally to four goals this season and his coach is impressed with his contribution

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp stronglyÃ‚Â believes South African players can learn a lot from Samir Nurkovic.Ã‚Â

The Serbian marksman has taken the PSL by storm since his arrival in the off-season with his high work rateÃ‚Â and eye for goal.Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â

"His work rate is exceptional and I think this is something that we probably donÃ¢Â€Â™t really have in South African soccer,"Ã‚Â Middendorp told the media.

"(Nurkovic) is prepared all the time to top it up on 100% and I think this is something, here and there, that you can learn."

Middendorp said he, himself,Ã‚Â hasn't stopped learning despite being an experienced coach.Ã‚Â Ã‚Â

"You should always be prepared. Me, every day IÃ¢Â€Â™m always prepared at my age to learn,"Ã‚Â added Middendorp.

"Players should watch what the other player is doing and the influence is not only in his actions, but comes in the direction of teammates.

"He's prepared to cover, to run, to move and other players are getting inspired by this and I think that's a very clear impact heÃ¢Â€Â™s giving to the team,"Ã‚Â concluded the German mentor.Ã‚Â

The 27-year-old has already netted four goals in eight games for the Glamour Boys soÃ‚Â far this season.Ã‚Â
