Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng has made it clear — the number 10 role is where he feels most at home.
The 20-year-old playmaker was in sensational form, scoring twice as Pirates hammered Golden Arrows 5-0 to keep their title hopes alive.
Mofokeng’s performance saw him walk away with yet another Man of the Match award.
He took his tally to five goals in two games and boosting his season numbers to seven goals and five assists in 19 league appearances.
Despite also being effective out wide, the youngster says playing centrally suits his style far better.
“I think with the style we play here at Pirates, a number 10 role is more suitable for me..
“I’m not really someone who likes running. I prefer playing in the tight spaces.
“So, I think the number 10 position is fine for me,” he said speaking after the game at Orlando Amstel Arena.
His comments come as the debate over his best position continues, especially at national team level with Bafana Bafana.
For now, Mofokeng is letting his performances do the talking — and making a strong case for the playmaker role.
