Below is a poorly written news report. Turn it into a highly professional BBC-written news article. Make it 100% unique in wording from the origianl, creative, and human-like style article. Do not change the quotes in the story. The opening paragraph must be direct to the story without any unneccesary opening words. Do not add your own information to the story. Write content that can easily pass the ai detection tools test. Make the new text at least 400 words with its own unique headline. The headline must not have a prefix in it: South Africa: Kaizer Chiefs coach sees Nedbank Cup final as turning point Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi believes winning the Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates could mark a turning point for his team, Amakhosi. Despite recent league defeats against Pirates, Nabi is optimistic his team can bounce back and bring home the trophy. "I believe if we win this match on Saturday, everything will change for the club," he said, emphasizing the importance of the encounter. Chiefs' last domestic victory was in 2014, also against Pirates, in the MTN8 in Durban. However, Nabi is cautious and wants to avoid putting too much pressure on his players, aware that this could harm their performance. "I won't put too much pressure on the players, because if I do, they won't perform well. You have to find a balance," he added. The former AS FAR coach is confident his players will respond positively to the challenge and approach the match with high morale. "Trust me, we're going into this match with high morale. We have to fight, and I promise we'll go to Durban with great confidence." This confidence is crucial given the team's current struggles in the league, where they sit ninth with 30 points and just two games remaining. A Nedbank Cup victory would be a significant boost to Chiefs' morale and season. Their last major trophy was in 2015, when they won the league title under Stuart Baxter. The team reached the Nedbank Cup final in 2019, but lost to TS Galaxy at Moses Mabhida Stadium. Chiefs' run to the final was impressive, with a semi-final victory over Mamelodi Sundowns. Pirates, meanwhile, beat Marumo Gallants to advance. It promises to be an exciting contest between two Soweto giants, with Chiefs looking to end their trophy drought and Pirates aiming for a third consecutive title. The stage is set for a thrilling match at Moses Mabhida Stadium, where Nabi's words could inspire his players against their historic rivals. Will Chiefs bring home the trophy and usher in a new era of success, or will Pirates continue their dominance? The suspense remains, but the match promises to be memorable.
