Njabulo Ngcobo humble way of life (KickOff.com)

With Kaizer Chiefs star Njabulo Ngcobo being the talk of the town, we take a look at his off-field lifestyle. Check it out!

Unlike many footballers who often go to social media to kill time or get their minds off the game, the 27-year-old is not a regular figure on Instagram as he prefers a modest lifestyle. This incident took place as a result of the co-coaches deciding to sub the Ngcobo due to his costly mistake against Golden Arrows. This is a theme that follows the baller even when it comes to his clothing collection as he prefers to keep it simple with his drip often consisting of just shorts with a stylish tee.

Kaizer Chiefs supporters turn their anger onto Ngcobo after loss to ... (Goal.com)

Kaizer Chiefs fans fault Njabulo Ngcobo for his contribution in the club's 2-1 loss to Golden Arrows in Wednesday's PSL assignment.

A section of Chiefs fans have now turned their anger on Ngcobo who made a costly blunder to allow the opponents to score. Like @Calvin_GQ, some fans believe it wrong for the technical bench to substitute the defender, and he should have been left on to redeem himself and build his confidence. Kaizer Chiefs' chances of finishing in the top two positions in the Premier Soccer League and an automatic place in the Caf Champions League are hanging in the balance after falling 2-1 to Golden Arrows on Wednesday.

Kaizer Chiefs' Ngcobo to pay the price for losing his cool? | Goal.com (Goal.com)

Kaizer Chiefs defender Njabulo Ngcobo might be facing disciplinary action for his reaction to being subbed during Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Golden Arrows.

Because he has shown glimpses that he has what it takes to cement his place in the heart of the Chiefs defence for the next few years. And after what has been a testing first season for him, it would be harsh if Wednesday's little bit of indiscretion led to him losing his place in the team or being punished in some way. After a stuttering, stop-start campaign for the Glamour Boys in which he has often been played out of position by previous coach Stuart Baxter, Ngcobo was only just starting to get a run in the starting XI as a centre-back.

“And then in the second half we decided to give goals away cheaply. Or he was trying to play it short and couldn't see the danger, and we go punished for it. Ngcobo appeared unhappy with the decision, and seemed to shy away from Zwane's offer of a handshake as he came off. “As a player you can do that — that's football. Ngcobo appeared low on confidence and made the costly error with a stray pass that led to Arrows substitute Siboniso Conco's 60th-minute equaliser. “I don't see it that way.
