Jali: Coaches are afraid to lose

Cape Town - Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Andile Jali believes the fact so many Soweto derbies end in draws is because the coaches are too afraid to lose.

The K.V. Oostende forward featured in 13 derbies during his five years with the Buccaneers, winning three and losing three, while seven ended in stalemates.

Those draws have long raised the ire of supporters of both Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, and Jali believes the clubs' fans should prepare themselves for plenty more as losing is just not an option when it comes to South Africa's biggest club clash.
