SuperSport United defender Nhlapo calls for awards for the best tackles

SuperSport United defender Siyabonga Nhlapo has called for a new award to be introduced, the PSL Tackle of the Season.

The experienced right-back feels defenders deserve more recognition as there is the Goal of the Season which is mostly awarded to attack-minded players like strikers and attacking midfielders.

“You look at the man of the match winners week in and week out, defenders are making tackles, but it would often go to the guys who scored. It does not matter what he does after that, just as long as he scored,” Nhlapo told The Citizen.
