Mosimane doesn’t see any other candidate for the prestigious award than Tau.
“For us Tau is performing. I mean he’s got assists‚ he scores‚” Mosimanetold reporters.
“I don’t know how you look at it because I was listening to SuperSport 4 two weeks ago. What is this‚ on Monday – Extra Time.
“People were campaigning for who’s going to be coach of the year – busy‚ busy‚ busy.
“People were campaigning for who’s going to be player of the year. Unbelievable – people have got agendas‚ it’s not funny.
“They are the same culprits – they don’t change their colours. Anyway,” continued Mosimane.
“For me‚ you can’t compare Percy to anybody. Give it to him. He’s playing Champions League‚ excuse me – and scoring. He’s scoring for Bafana.
“He’s scoring in the league‚ he’s scoring in the Nedbank Cup. Every time he scores. Who do you want to compare him to? No‚ let’s be honest.
“And people are saying that‚ ‘Whoever must be also be …’. OK‚ you can have nominees. OK‚ that’s good.
“Just give it to Percy‚ please. He’s playing for your country man. He’s doing it at the highest level‚ week in and week out‚ every three days‚ running‚ playing‚ the same level,” concluded the Sundowns coach.
