What Sukazi Admires About Vilakazi

What Sukazi Admires About Vilakazi

TS Galaxy boss Tim Sukazi has explained how their marquee signing, Sibusiso Vilakazi, can inspire the club to greatness, even when the ex-Mamelodi Sundowns star is not on the field of play.

Sukazi believes Vilakazi brings a wealth of experience and leadership skills, on and off the pitch, which can help the club achieve its goals in the upcoming season.

Vilakazi joined Galaxy most recently after parting ways with Sundowns, a club where he spent six seasons, winning four league titles, a Telkom Knockout, and CAF Super Cup. He made 138 appearances for the Brazilians with 29 goals and 28 assists to his name.

"What I like about Vila is his leadership, more especially football leadership, holistically, on and off the pitch. Vila is not only a good player, but a very good soldier to have," Sukazi told the media at Galaxy's launch of the new season in KwaMhlanga, Mpumalanga. 

"With experience, as TS Galaxy, we learned that if you bring in the right kind of mentality within the group, it influences the rest, and shapes the club. The reference point is our signing of Vuyo Mere during a difficult time in January. We needed 17 points to avoid the axe, and we brought in Mere, and we were clear that we don't expect him to play as much, but he leads, so Vila has got a lot of that.

"Vila is a good servant of the game, he has done fantastically well wherever he has played, but he wants to be here. He sees value in this club, and he is highly committed, and I think he will give us a lot going forward," concluded Sukazi.

The 2013/2014 Footballer of the Year will hope to reignite his career at Galaxy as he battled injuries in the last two seasons at Sundowns.
