TS Galaxy star earns Vinicius Jr comparisons – ‘Champions League standard’

TS Galaxy chairman Tim Sukazi claims Puso Dithejane can be compared to Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr.

Dithejane has started the season well, scoring three goals and providing two assists, to be voted PSL Player of the Month of August.

The winger’s good start to the season has been key to Galaxy moving to fourth place on the PSL table but with his great stats, he was still not selected to the Bafana Bafana squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Nigeria.

His boss, however, feels the player should be among those in national team camp, claiming that a club in Croatia recently enquired about him and returned positive reviews with some interesting comparisons to Vinicius Jr.

Galaxy star termed ‘best winger’ in Mzansi

“To me he is the best winger currently in South Africa, I’m saying that without any fear of contradiction,” Sukazi told Andile Ncube on MetroFM.

“He should be in Bloemfontein, he should be with Bafana. Puso is the best winger in the country today.

“A club from Croatia spoke to us last week, they asked for his GPS, they said it’s a standard of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, they compared.

How does Dithejane compare with Vinicius?

“The coach spoke with our coach and said ‘are you sure he sprints like this’. We said yes. So he is not in the national team. They said it’s a Champions League standard, these kinds of stats.

“I’m telling you, speak to coach [Adnan] Beganovic, he’ll tell you the name of the coach, he’ll tell you the name of the club. The shock that the coach had, he said it can’t be true. We said, it is, here is the data.”

Dithejane is in his third season with Galaxy where he has played 54 matches, scoring six goals while providing 10 assists.
