Bafana Bafana boss Hugo Broos has some sobering words for rising Orlando Pirates superstar Relebohile Mofokeng, and his representatives.
Broos wants Mofokeng to choose wisely
Taling to iDiskiTimes, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos is concerned that Relebohile Mofokeng might make the wrong choice for his future with several top sides hovering to sign him from Pirates.
“Talking about Mofokeng, I just hope that he makes the right decisions. And that he is not going to a team where he won’t play.
“I see all the things around, Barcelona and Rangers and… (sighs) I’m a little bit afraid. I just hope that the people around make the choice of the best sportive solution and not the best financial solution,”
“Okay, I think his parents want the best for him, that’s for sure. But there is another guy who wants to win a lot of money also, but that’s the problem. But ok, let’s hope, maybe I talked too soon about that,
“We’ll see. I think in June, Rele will not be a player of Orlando Pirates anymore, but a good choice is very important.”
Orlando Pirates face Sundowns next
Orlando Pirates face the biggest test of their season in the league when they face champions Mamelodi Sundowns. The Buccaneers beat Sekhukhune 2-1 on Wednesday with goals from Deon Hotto and Makhehlene Makhaula, assisted by Hotto. Former Sea Robber Linda Mntambo scored the consolation for the hosts. Sundowns claimed a routine 3-0 win away to SuperSport with goals from Jayden Adams and a Tashreeq Matthews brace. Pirates are in great form having beaten Kaizer Chiefs and Babina Noko within three days.
Sundowns host Pirates on Saturday, 08 February with kickoff at 15:30.It’s undoubtedly the biggest game of the season so far. Pirates trail the champions by six points but have a game in hand.
How good do you think Mofokeng is, a Bafana legend in the making perhaps?
