Whats happening with Seleng ???
🚨𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗚'𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗦:
Monnapule Saleng’s agent, Karabo Tshabuse, has shed light on the situation involving the talented winger and Orlando Pirates.
“I think we caught hands because of what the media did. If we rewind to when there were issues in the media, it was around Saleng not being on the pitch. And there was this whole ‘where is Saleng?’ "
“We see Monnapule Saleng saying ‘I’m not okay’ on that Giants show. That is already an answer in itself that it was a season where mental fitness was not matching physical fitness."
“What I like is that from the Giants show or the Pirates show, Saleng is live, saying I am not okay, and granted, people are only getting it after the speculation about where he is, and does he really want to be there."
“Does it make sense for someone who looks after the interests of a player to tell him to stay away (from training) when he’s got a binding contract? If you want to take him overseas, it’s based on the stats and the data; his last game is his best data."
“He needed the audience to just hold the line for him, and unfortunately, as much as social media can be powerful to build, it can be powerful to exacerbate and break a situation. So, we find ourselves now having to explain a season where people were just ruthless. I then decided I’m not going to comment because I can’t say my client needs the mental fitness to be where his physical fitness is."
“There was no contractual issue with Saleng and Orlando Pirates. Orlando Pirates and Saleng brokered a very good deal, and a deal that helped Saleng achieve a multitude of things, including buying property."
“Orlando Pirates can never be faulted on that score. It can also not be faulted for what the player went through. So, the Al Ahly deal is nothing further than the truth. At that stage, Monnapule Saleng was not looking to leave. He was at Orlando Pirates, invested in the team, but just going through something."
“This guy has a tattoo of Orlando Pirates on his calf. He has an Orlando Pirates badge tattoo on his potris. For him, he arrived at his dream when he played for Orlando Pirates.”
