Hotto hails teammate
Football
Orlando Pirates left wing-back Deon Hotto has joined the long list of his teammates and football personalities praising the special talents of winger Relebohile Mofokeng.
The 20-year-old Bafana Bafana international’s special talents have also seen him play a prominent role in helping Pirates win their CAF Champions League group and qualify for the last eight.
Hotto, responding to a question posed by SABC Sport, ran short of words in describing the brilliance of the School of Excellence graduate.
"It's amazing what the boy is actually doing, from last season until today, it's just – I don't know man, the boy is just too much man," said Hotto.
"For him, I won't say the sky is the limit, but he's just a marvellous player, to be honest – hayi, eish, I don't have words for him man. He's just good man, he's good.
“Me and him we actually understand each other. We click and it’s all about understanding each other in the game, because he learns very fast and I’m grateful that he’s actually playing in front of me.”
With a direct involvement in almost 20 goals in 28 appearances so far this season, there’s no arguing the special talent Mofokeng is, but for Hotto, it’s also the youngster’s respect that makes him special.
"The good thing about him is that he listens to his senior players – that's one good thing, and he's definitely going to go far with [that attitude]," he added.
"When you always listen to what your elders are saying, you will definitely go far. He's also very disciplined, and he's grounded."
