Former Orlando Pirates shot stopper Aime Kitenge says Ghanaian international Richard Ofori is too feeble to be a goalkeeper.
Ofori caused two blunders on Saturday as Pirates were beaten 2-1 by Moroka Swallows in the MTN8 quarter finals game and Kitenge insists Ofori has no command in his area.
“There is an element of insecurity to his game, retired goalkeeper Kitenge told KickOff.
“He needs to stamp his authority and make it known that he is in charge. As a keeper you need to be on top of the players and make them feel that you are there to defend and protect them even when they make mistakes.
“The rest of the team needs to feel secure with you knowing that you will take responsibility for whatever happens.
“As a keeper, you must be aggressive in your commands, especially as an international goalkeeper. I think he is too sweet for a keeper at Pirates. Williams Okpara was feared by his own teammates and that is what you need as a keeper.
“You must never be sweet as a keeper which is why I even once knocked out my own defender Hilton Jordaan after he chose not to listen to me on three occasions. Ofori needs to have that hardness in him and command which will then eliminate these silly mistakes that he is now being remembered for instead of the good.” He added.
Sportsworldghana.com understands that Pirates are already in the market looking for a keeper to compete with Ofori for the starting berth.
