ARENA SPORTS SHOW | Floyd Mogale says ‘Phopho’ Padime must be allowed to express himself - TimesLIVE

Emerging Orlando Pirates player Mpho “Phopho” Padime divides opinion, but experienced youth coach Floyd Mogale is adamant the exciting attacker must be allowed to express himself.

In his breakthrough season for the Buccaneers, Padime has established himself as a fan favourite, but he often frustrates Buccaneers coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.

Speaking on the 129th episode of the Arena Sports Show, Mogale said South African under-23 midfielder Padime must be allowed to showcase his skills with the ball.

Ouaddou has made it clear he does not like players over-expressing themselves on the ball without a purpose, and sometimes he shows frustration when his players dribble too much.

“He is a new breed of our football. He likes dancing and to me is a revelation in South African football,” Mogale said.
