Monnapule Saleng Thanks Coaches After Man of The Match Performance!

Monnapule Saleng Thanks Coaches After Man of The Match Performance! The Buccaneers grabbed a vital win over Abafana Bes’thende.

Orlando Pirates defeated Golden Arrows in the DSTV Premiership last night. Attacker Monnapule Saleng was very grateful to the support of his team after his decisive performance.

The former Free State Stars striker scored both goals for the visitors in the first half. This was enough to seal the 2-0 win.

The Buccaneers had gone three league matches without a victory, so this was a very crucial win for them.

“I am very thankful,” Saleng told the club media after the match.

“I want to thank the coaches for the belief that they instilled in me, for the trust that they have given me. Because they haven’t given up on me besides the lack of goals.

“So, they kept on pushing me in training to keep on trying. They gave me a message before this match to play close to [Kermit] Erasmus because he is someone who holds the ball.

“So, if I start wide and run inside, on many occasions I was close to him. If you take a look, the goals I scored were both assisted by him, because I was close to him.

“I started wide, and immediately after he got the ball, I would be close to him. So, I was just in the right space to score.

“I think the only thing we were missing was the goals because our performances have always been at 100%. So, I think even against [Mamelodi] Sundowns if we can score goals, we will beat Sundowns [this weekend in their MTN 8 semi-final].” He boldly claimed.

The Buccaneers will take on Masandawana on Saturday afternoon. Monnapule Saleng Thanks Coaches After Man of The Match Performance!
