‘Bullies’ must leave Sirino alone and go to Onyango – warns Mamelodi Sundowns coach Mosimane

The Masandawana boss has called on referees to protect his skillful player than to focus on his emotional reactions

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has made a plea for referees to protect midfielder Gaston Sirino against opposition defenders whom he preferred to call ‘bullies’.

The Brazilians' manager believes the Uruguayan playmaker is provoked by opponents, but match officials only look at the attacker’s reaction instead of focusing on the perpetrators.

Sirino nearly received a red card against SuperSport United in an MTN8 semi-final clash last week after he looked to be fouled by Clayton Daniels and his reaction towards Dean Furman was spotted by the official who issued him with a yellow card.
