The reason Mamelodi Sundowns player Gaston Sirino hasn’t played much this season has been disclosed by coach Rhulani Mokwena.

Among the players who were anticipated to depart the Tshwane giants during the previous three seasons is the Uruguayan footballer.

It just so happens that Sirino has not played much, and when Mokwena was asked what might be the issue, he mentioned the player’s lack of commitment.

As the coach, I regretfully have the ability to base my decisions on what I observe each day at practice. In my opinion, there is more to the game than passes, dribbles and other actions, and that goes double for all of the Mamelodi Sundowns players, not just Gaston “Mokwena” told Andile Ncube on SNAWA.

“It’s the sensation of investment and confidence. My family has a strong football background, so I know that the game is more than just something to be done with no feelings involved.

“My late grandfather mysteriously passed away on the side of the road for football while he was travelling to Welkom to sign one of the top players for the Orlando Pirates at the time,” the coach said.

“The greatest player in history, Pele, gave a jersey to my uncle who travelled abroad to support his side in a championship game after abandoning his own wedding. I have those standards for my guys.

“That’s the depth of investment I expect from my players and when I don’t get that when I don’t get that sense it is very difficult for me to play you in this team,” he stated.

Additionally, it doesn’t help that by their very nature, people cannot be held accountable for their public expressions. Fortunately, Gaston Sirino is also a very good person, and I really like him, but it’s hard to get the best out of sIn just 24 games in all competitions this season, Sirino has recorded two assists and five goals.

The 33-year-old star was previously connected to transfers to Al Ahly between 2020 and 2022, when Pitso Mosimane was still their coach.

At some time, Sirino made it known that he was excited to play for the Red Devils of Egypt instead of the South African champs. omeone who doesn’t want to be there.”
