Just when you thought Vincent Pule’s injury woes, that have blighted him for the last two years were over, the tricky winger suffered yet another setback, one that would see him miss a total of 22 matches in all competitions for coach Jose Riveiro’s side. The 32-year-old has welcomed the changes that are taking place at the Buccaneers both on and off the field. He now plays a leadership role to the likes of Relebohile Mofokeng, the latest Orlando Pirates star that has fans in a craze. In this interview with Soccer Laduma’s Delmain Faver, Pule talks about yet another lengthy injury, his eagerness to return to his best form and why he is providing wise counsel to his teammate who suffered a similar tragedy to him.
Delmain Faver: “Mashonisa”, always nice having you on Soccer Laduma’s pages. One can imagine for any player to miss a total of 22 games and counting must be an awful feeling. Can you share your thoughts about being back on the pitch and working your way back to full fitness after a lengthy period on the sidelines?
Vincent Pule: Ja, I’m feeling good, man. You know, obviously being back from a lot of injuries, it takes a lot mentally, but now I’m back on the field and I’m happy to be with the guys, you know, to enjoy football again.
