Hugo Broos Claims That Cassius Mailula Should Have Stayed in the PSL! The attacker left for international football in the transfer window.
Cassius Mailula left Mamelodi Sundowns for Toronto FC in the previous transfer market. Bafana Bafana head coach has blasted him and his agent for departing South Africa at this stage of his career.
The winger is yet to make an appearance for his new club, since joining the Canadian outfit. This is because he struggled with injuries, while also joining the club in the middle of the season.
“You have a good agent when the agent is looking at you,” Broos told reporters at the SABC Studios.
“But if you have an agent that is always only looking at his wallet then you don’t have it, and I’m afraid that Mailula does not have a good agent.
“When you let him go to Toronto, where you know that there are two senior Italian internationals are there, and that there’s a Canadian international [Deandre] Kerr, and you let go of a young player like this, who has 15 games experience in the PSL – that is not the right choice.
“And Mailula will not play, you will see, even in the next months. In a month the competition [MLS] is finished in America, so for me he’s lost a season.
“And again, I don’t want to blame him for that, it’s certainly not [his fault]. I think you have to blame the agent because, you know, as an agent, when he goes there then it will be very, very difficult for that guy.
“It should have been better that he stays in Sundowns, and plays Champions League again, so he could get the experience and maybe get a move in one or two years, but now it was much too soon and not the right club.” He added.
The attacker will find it hard to make it back to the Bafana Bafana setup again. Hugo Broos Claims That Cassius Mailula Should Have Stayed in the PSL!
