Any concerns of a shaky defence at Naturena are slowly fading away and are going to be the thing of the past now that Lorenzo Gordinho is raising his hand above all of his teammates.
The young defender's partnership with Mathoho is finally proving to be useful. Just watch the space, it is going to be among the best partnerships in the PSL. Gordinho has become a solid replacement for the void Tefu Mashamaite left at the centre of Chiefs' defence a season ago.
He gives the same qualities Masha was offering before his departure. This includes scoring goals and, so far, Gordinho is leading the chats for Chiefs' goalscorers this season.
This young boy is going to be one of the best defenders that the country has ever produced. He reads the game very well, times his tackles and is very good in the air.
One day he is going to captain the mighty Amakhosi. The Chiefs academy graduate is proving to be very comfortable playing next to either 'Tower' or Cardoso as he was also done so with Morgan Gould while he was still at Chiefs last season. He is also a defender who's very smart with the ball at his feet.
Do you think Gordinho can fill Mashamaite's boots at Chiefs?
