Pirates Coach Ouaddou Gives Straightforward Evaluation of Mbekezeli Mbokazi
Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has shared his thoughts about Mbekezeli Mbokazi after the South African international's performance against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final first leg.
The Bafana Bafana star was named the vice captain of the Sea Robbers this season and has started the season well despite Pirates' poor start in the Betway Premiership.
Sundowns were the first to score in the first leg at Orlando Stadium through Teboho Mokoena's header, and they were close to winning the tie before Kamogelo Sebelebele levelled the score line before the final whistle.
“Let me be very honest, and you have to be careful when you compliment someone, they stop working,” Ouaddou said. “But I have to say it, as a coach, when I compliment a player that is doing well, it’s good for their mentality, confidence, and self-esteem.
“This guy [Mbokazi], if he continues to work, continue to be professional and take care of his lifestyle, I think he he as a great future.
“I have seen him again today [Saturday], he is just unbelievable, it’s a performance for big clubs in Europe, and we are happy to have him at Orlando Pirates, a big club in Africa, but he has to keep working.”
