Nasreddine Nabi has added his voice to the debate around showboating, or 'Kasi Flava' as it is more commonly known in South Africa, ahead of Kaizer Chiefs' return to competitive action.
As a topic of discussion, showboating has traditionally divided the South African football community, with some arguing it belongs in the circus, while others believe it is an integral part of the domestic football heritage.

Chiefs players are no exception, with youngsters like Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi known to occasionally take a few seconds off the clock for for the flamboyant display.
Sensational winger Relebohile Mofokeng also found himself on the receiving of some of criticism after turning on the magic during Bafana Bafana's 3-0 win over South Sudan recently.
Speaking to journalists at the club's media open day on Monday, Nabi argued that the showboating needs to be efficient as goals are the most important aspect of a football match.
"I want to provide the DNA for South African football and mix it with the necessity of modern football. And this DNA is not positive but realistic," Nabi said.
"My colleague Hugo Broos has worked very hard to change a little. Congratulations on his work and his passion. Remember, it's not easy for Mr Hugo Broos with Bafana Bafana. You [journalists] are here, how many times did you criticise him?
"Now I think you are here and very happy. When you change, you need passion, patience, and respect. It's normal. There is criticism, not positive criticism, but realistic criticism.
"You need to critique the process and not why you chose this one and not this one. That's football for 1975, not now, you know. Critique the game model.

"For me, I want to provide quality. Sometimes, in South Africa, there's too much showboating and not efficiency.
"You remember Bafana's game against Uganda, after 1-0 or 2-0 the team started showboating? No, you need to score four of five, not score one goal and you start to showboat. Come on, guys!" added the former Young Africans head coach.
Meanwhile, Chiefs will be aiming to return to winning form when they take on Richards Bay FC at New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday.
Kick-off is at 19:30.
