Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Benedict ‘Tso’ Vilakazi has hailed the impact of new Kaizer Chiefs signing Gaston Sirino but also revealed a big worry.
Sirino made his Chiefs debut in the 2-1 win over Marumo Gallants in their 2024/25 Betway Premiership opener, where he also influenced the two goals scored.
The Uruguayan was signed on a two-year deal at Naturena after being out of contract at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Vilakazi says the 33-year-old fitted like a glove in the Glamour Boys’ set-up, however warns that if overloaded there is a risk that he will be like former teammates at Sundowns Khama Billiat, Leonardo Castro and Keagan Dolly at Naturena.
“If you look at the goals that Chiefs have scored, came from him so it tells you about his influence,” Tso said on iDiski TV.
“I was not shocked that he fitted in because I know he is a good player. Good players just need an opportunity to express themselves but my worry is one, the lack of support.
“If he is not going to get the support he’s going to be in the same situation as Castro, Billiat and Dolly?
“To me it looks like we are the ones killing them instead of helping them to help the team achieve things.
“They come to the team and get overloaded with everything because there is no one helping him in terms of carrying the load. I’m worried about him carrying the whole load.”
