“The Footballer of the Season award is at Thembinkosi Lorch’s house and he’s still the best player in the country.”
Lorch received a red card in the league match against Polokwane City at Orlando Stadium on Tuesday night and while Mokwena conceded that the Pirates player deserved to be sent off‚ he still sang his praises.
“If someone wants to argue with me‚ then we can argue‚ because I talks stats‚ maybe with others it's an opinion‚” said Mokwena. Tlolane blasted the ball at Lorch after a tackle and when the Pirates player lashed out‚ the two then tried to fool Bambiso by diving to the ground moments after pushing each other."Nyoso shouldn’t have retaliated but we spoke to him about it."With a little bit more of emotional intelligence he could have avoided the situation.”
“You see‚ unfortunately we forget that he’s still the reigning Footballer of the Season‚” said Mokwena.
