Mandla Masango, of Kaizer Chiefs fame, says Orlando Pirates winger Relebohile Mofokeng is suited for the Netherlands or Belgium.
FIRST STEPS FOR RELEBOHILE MOFOKENG
Mandla Masango, who has played for Randers FC in Denmark, has offered advice to Orlando Pirates’ 20-year-old Mofokeng.
“He doesn’t have to go to Chelsea, Manchester City, or Barcelona because his game time will be limited at those big teams,” Masango said, as quoted by the Citizen.
“I would prefer for him to go to Holland [The Netherlands]because the style of play there will suit him because it’s more technical, they don’t have big players who will intimidate him. There [in the Netherlands], they play 100 percent football.
“They knock the ball around, therefore it will suit his style because he’s incredible in one-on-one situations, and no one can stand up to him,” Masango added.
BELGIUM ALSO AN OPTION AFTER ORLANDO PIRATES
“I think he can also excel in Belgium. Those two leagues [Netherlands and Belgium] are good [launching pads] for players who are coming from SA before they can go to those big leagues in Europe to establish themselves.
“Some players are playing in France but they’re not getting much game time. You can’t just rush, rush. You need to take it step by step because life is different on that side [in Europe]. Here you’re a star and everybody glorifies you but on that side, you need to start from scratch,” concluded Masango.
