Orlando Pirates fans have witnessed the rise of an exciting talent this season in Relebohile Mofokeng.

His performances have made a strong impression, and now, coach Jose Riveiro has shared his thoughts on what lies ahead for the young player.

The Key to Success Lies with Mofokeng

Riveiro, who played a key role in developing Mofokeng before handing him his professional debut, believes the future is bright for the 19-year-old.

He emphasized that Mofokeng has all the potential to succeed, but the key to realizing that potential lies in his own hands.

According to Riveiro, Mofokeng’s future depends heavily on his discipline and commitment.

“With that level of talent, the future belongs to you,” said the coach, noting that age isn’t as important as the hard work and professionalism a player brings to the game.

Riveiro pointed out that young players like Mofokeng must focus on what they can control—namely, how seriously they approach their careers.

The Role of Professionalism in Modern Football

Riveiro went on to stress that success in modern football goes beyond just training and matches.

In today’s game, being a professional isn’t just about what happens on the pitch—it’s a 24-hour commitment.

“It’s about how you live your life,” he explained, highlighting the importance of maintaining discipline off the field as well.

For Mofokeng, this means ensuring his dedication to his craft extends beyond practice sessions.

It’s not just about putting in the hours during team training, but about how he conducts himself day in and day out.

Timing, Opportunity, and Luck

While Riveiro acknowledges Mofokeng’s hard work and determination, he also believes that timing, opportunities, and a bit of luck play an important role in a player’s career.

Mofokeng is doing everything he can to make the most of his potential, but as Riveiro puts it, “football will put you in the place that you deserve.”

Ultimately, the coach is confident that Mofokeng’s commitment to his development will pay off, but only time will tell how far he can go.
