Stellenbosch FC coach Gavin Hunt on what makes striker Tshegofatso Mabasa dangerous: He just needs to be serviced as a striker then he will score more

Tsegofatso Mabasa wants only one thing and that is being serviced.

Then he will show his best and true potential because without service you can even say he is a poor player,.

This is the view of Mabasa’s coach at PSL side Stellenbosch FC, Gavin Hunt, where the striker is on loan from Betway Premiership outfit Orlando Pirates.

“I said to my guys on Thursday, ‘You can’t play Mabasa if you’re not going to service him; you have to service a striker’,” Hunt told the media as Mabasa netted a brace against Chippa United last weekend in a PSL 2-1 victory for Stellies.

“He doesn’t do the things that Pirates wants him to do like press defences, which I understand, he doesn’t do that for us either.

“But if you service him, he will score because this guy can score. On Wednesday, he had one chance he should have scored, maybe two.

“But if you play wide, you’ve got to service him. So, if you service him and put balls across, he’ll come across into your post and score.

“He’s got that five-metre strike to go into the net; you can’t buy that. He can score goals, but it’s no good having a striker if you don’t give him the ball.

“We’re trying to score from the wide areas, trying to score from the width; the goals always say so, so we need to service him.”
