“To be honest, Pirates had a better performance this season, they’ve won two cups, clinched a Champions League spot, we don’t deny that, but they didn’t win the league," Mokoena tells“It’s a similar argument to the one about who should be the coach of the season between Rulani Mokwena and Jose Riveiro.
“But the fact is, recognition should go to the person who won the league, hence Teboho Mokoena beat Monnapule Saleng for the Player of the Season.“I think Saleng would have won the Footballer of the Season if Pirates won the league. “Pirates performed well, but the only problem is they didn’t win the league. Both sides performed at the end of the day.“But if we look only in domestic football, it’s Pirates that did better, but Sundowns did well also.“Nobody recognises second place, no matter how good he played or performed that season.
