Orlando Pirateslegend Lebohang “Cheeseboy” Mokoena believes Monnapule Salengreceives poor advice.
The 26-year-old hasn’t featured for the Buccaneers in more than two months. Mokoena admitted that he tried to reach him several times but the winger had failed to respond.
“Till today, I’ve been trying to get hold of him with the phone (he has not answered or got back to me). I went through some of his socials to try and drop him a message and say: ‘Hey boy, give me a call, let’s talk’ because I’m also getting messages asking me about the boy,” Mokoena said on SoccerBeat.
Orlando Pirates star Saleng still yet to feature this year
“The last time I checked on one of his Facebook (posts), he was at some farm, running around chickens and cows. And I’m looking at the people around him (in the picture) and these people are not even football people. What are they telling him?
Mokoena said Saleng has not been getting good advice and urged the winger to speak with the Orlando Pirates to resolve the situation.
“That’s what I’m saying, the influence around him is not so good, man. Because there’s always advisers. We understand the issue, you might not have got the opportunity to get a team you were looking for – either going overseas, making more money or you’re not happy with your salary.
“Whatever it is, the advice (from legends) is clear and sound, go sit down with the team and explain your situation. If the team don’t get it right, the only answer is to get back into the field,” ‘Cheese Boy’ added.
Orlando Pirates have not publicly discussed the Saleng situation.
