‘Pirates saw something special’
Thalente Mbatha has been rewarded with a Bafana Bafana call-up after fitting in like a glove to hand at Orlando Pirates .
Hugo Broos has taken notice of the shifts that Mbatha has been putting in midfield for Pirates since his arrival on loan from SuperSport United at the beginning of the year.The lanky player has shown the qualities of a modern central midfielder who gets his hands dirty when that duty calls and yet is also able to remain effective with the ball at his feet playing both short and long.
"He plays like a ballerina, he is just a beautiful player to watch playing because he can pass to the left and right, making his vision unbelievable," commends Da Gama."What happened at SuperSport was never going to define who he is, and the proof is in what is happening at Pirates."I think he has a bright future as long as he remains level-headed and focuses on football.
