Orlando Pirates defender Thapelo Xoki says they are wary of the threat posed by Mamelodi Sundowns sharp shooter Peter Shalulile given his impressive record against the Buccaneers. SLSiya
His record against Pirates states that he has scored six goals in the 10 games in which he has faced them, the latest being a brace in his side’s 4-1 win over Pirates last season.It comes as very little surprise then that Pirates defenders are well aware of what Shalulile can do, although Xoki says the 28-year-old thrives off supply from his teammates, something they would have to stop.
“We have to appreciate his qualities, he has done well for his club, and scored goals for his team but he doesn’t do it alone, the guys give him supply. That’s why we have to make sure that we starve the supply to him as much as we can,” Xoki told journalists at the MTN8 media briefing.
