Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa named Ronaldo Nazario and Harry Kane as the two forwards that have inspired him in his career.
Nazario played for some of the best teams in the world including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan while also shining for his country Brazil in the 90s and early 2000s. The 49-year-old was a serial championship winner with two Ballon D’or awards to his name and the FIFA World Cup with Brazil twice as well among some of his achievements.

Meanwhile Bayern Munich star Kane is the current England leading top goal scorer and holds a record of being his former side Tottenham Hotspurs all-time top scorer.
Mabasa told iDiski Times senior journalist Matshelane Mamabolo about his admiration of the two while adding that he has modelled his game around Kane.
“A player who inspired me was Ronaldo [R9],” Mabasa told iDiski Times.
“I mean, what he managed to do on the field of play was really special. A player I try to model my game around would be Harry Kane, simply because of his all-around play and his killer instincts in front of goal.”
