'If Mlambo Is Xabi, Then Gabuza Is Our Ibrahimovic'

'If Mlambo Is Xabi, Then Gabuza Is Our Ibrahimovic'

Following Xola Mlambo's impressive performance in Orlando Pirates Nedbank Cup win against Ajax Cape Town last weekend, Orlando Pirates head coach, Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic has linked new Bucs arrival, with Spanish former central midfielder, Xabi Alonso.

Mlambo made his second appearance in the colours of the Ghosts against the Urban Warriors and already Micho thinks the Soweto-born player portrays the qualities similar to that of Alonso.

Supporters Club members were never going to let the opportunity pass to be sarcastic in their response to the Serbian coach's statement.

See below which local players have been compared to other big stars by our members:

"Yes coach he possesses some of Xabi's qualities."- Sizwe wale Bucs.

"Xola Mlambo de general! What a player."- mphoZa@ 45

 "Great player indeed."- Schakos

 "Nyauza is like Fernandinho kikikikiki."- Hlasela_Khosi

"Gabuza is our Ibrahimovic."- Man.walibhakabhaka

"Lol! Ryan Moon is Harry Kane of South Africa."- Bhekanieee

What do you think of Micho's comparison of Mlambo to Alonso?
