Owayesakuba ngunozinti weOrlando Pirates, uMoeneeb Josephs, ubongoze uRelebohile Mofokeng ukuba angazihoyi izicelo ezisuka kumaqela akwaSirayeli nanjengoko efunwa shushu.
Kwiiveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo, kwavakala ukuba amaqela akwaSirayeli iMaccabi Tel Aviv kunye neMaccabi Haifa anxibelelane neOrlando Pirates ngeenjongo zokuthenga lo mdlali oneminyaka engamashumi amabini ubudala obalaseleyo. Ngenxa yoko, kuthiwe thaca malunga nezigidi ezingamashumi amathathu ananye zeerandi (R31 million) ukuze kwenziwe isivumelwano.
Kodwa uJosephs, owachitha iminyaka emihlanu kwiPirates waphinda wadlala kwiNdebe yeHlabathi ka2010 kweli lizwe, uvakalise inkxalabo yakhe ngokufudukela kukaMofokeng kwaSirayeli.
“Sibafunela okuhle abadlali bethu, kwaye ukuba baya phambili, kufuneka badlulele kwinto engcono,” UJosephs, nongumqeqeshi woonozinti beqela lesizwe laseKenya, utshilo kwiSoccerBeat podcast.
“Ewe, phesheya kulapho yonke into yenzeka khona, kodwa kwaSirayeli akukho phesheya. Oko kukubuyela umva ngakumbi.”
Uqhubekile nokugalela amanzi abandayo kwibango elithi eli nyathelo lingamlungela uMofokeng nanjengoko la maqela edlala eYurophu.
“Ungandixeleli ngeChampions League, la maqela amfunayo yiMaccabi Haifa neTel Aviv, lawo ngamaqela azizisulu zokubethwa kwiChampions League,” uqhube watsho.
“URele ngumdlali obalaseleyo, kwaye abadlali ababalaseleyo baya kumaqela amakhulu. Aba baphathi babadlali akufuneki banyolukele imali bathi, ‘uya phesheya kolwandle.’ Hayi, kukho umahluko omkhulu phesheya.
“Kunzima ukuza kumdlalo ukuba uza kuya kula maqela mabini akwaSirayeli. Uphepha iziqhushumbisi endleleni yakho eya apho. Uza kugxila njani kumdlalo? Kunzima.
“Ngoko ke, thumelani umfana wethu kwindawo ekhuselekileyo. Thumelani umfana wethu kwindawo apho anokukhula khona.
“Kulapho sifuna aye khona, kwaye ukuba akahambi, siya kubambelela kuye apha ngaphandle kwengxaki, kamnandi usesemncinci.”
