During the match between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday afternoon, Sundowns winger Thapelo Maseko seemed to be a nuisance for the Chiefs defenders, and according to the former Amakhosi and Bafana Bafana midfielder Doctor Khumalo, it is easy to stop a player like Maseko.

The doctor said that the boy is a one-footed player, which makes him predictable; when he has the ball, you already know his next step, which is running to his stronger side.

“A player like this is easy to play against. If I was on the bench, I would have said, Allow Maseko to have the ball, because I’ve seen his right foot; it’s non-existent. It’s for going to the mall.” ~ Doctor Khumalo

“It’s so sad to see a person who is supposed to be a football legend talking such nonsense about someone who grew up watching them. The boy is good, and that’s where it ends.”

Sadly, he is right. Rhulani must help Maseko to be able to cut inside. Using one leg is not a bad thing, but always going to the line for a cross is unpolished. He is young and will get better.”
