Tso Vilakazi Exposes Pirates’ Recruitment Mistake, Says Baby Haaland Has Failed To Impress

Benedict “Tso” Vilakazi, a legendary member of the Orlando Pirates, has taken to social media to criticise Sebastian “Baby Haaland” Pedersen, a Norwegian striker, saying that the Buccaneers made a mistake by signing him.

Pedersen has not shown the skills necessary to become a regular part of the Pirates team, according to Vilakazi, a former midfielder who had a good tenure with the Soweto giants.

As he discussed the striker’s play, Vilakazi reiterated that his assessments were based on objective observation rather than conjecture.

“Pedersen was a penny squandered for the pirates. This is what I witness on a weekly basis, Bafethu,” Vilakazi said.

The ex-Pirates player went on to wonder why head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou keeps leaving Pedersen out of his starting lineups.

If you believe Vilakazi, the Norwegian attacker hasn’t done nearly enough to win over the technical staff with his sporadic team participation.

Despite Pedersen’s best efforts, the Pirates are still relying on other offensive alternatives such Evidence Makgopa, Boitumelo Radiopane, and Tshegofatso Mabasa, as he pointed out.

Vilakazi claimed that the coach should have given Pedersen more playing time if the player had the requisite talent, especially when the squad needed offensive reinforcements.

Additionally, he brought up Radiopane’s past with the club, saying that the young striker had been benched for a while but eventually made it back into the starting lineup.

Vilakazi sees Pedersen’s infrequency in starting games as proof that the Norwegian has not won over the coaches.

His remarks have injected further fuel into the fire of controversy concerning the Pirates’ offensive additions and the club’s hiring selections.

If Pedersen wants to show the Buccaneers that he’s worth keeping around, he’ll have to contend with more scrutiny.
