Will Lucas Ribeiro Costa win the PSL Golden Boot? Mamelodi Sundowns defender delves into forward's qualities - 'Don't bother, give him the ball! You won't get it. He will role you... then he is gone'

Mamelodi Sundowns forward Lucas Ribeiro Costa is leading the Premier Soccer League top goal-scorers' chart after scoring 13 goals.

He is being trailed by teammate Iqraam Rayners who is on nine goals.

Masandawana defender Rivaldo Coetzee feels Ribeiro is now untouchable.

"I don't know what to say about Ribeiro," Coetzee said as per KickOff.

"You can't say anything about that [Ribeiro's quality]. You can just see he is Brazilian. He enjoys football. He always wants the ball, he wants to be on the ball but big ups to him and the team. 

"That's one thing, he trains that way. You see the dribbling and the runs it's the same thing he does in training. 

"That's why it looks so easy for him in a match, because if I'm a defender and he is a striker, or if I'm a six and he is a 10 maybe. If I'm behind him. I'll never get the ball," added the Bafana Bafana defender.

"I have to be next to him so I can intercept or his teammates can't pass it to him but once you are behind him, don't bother, give him the ball. You won't get it. He will role you, or shibobo or something then he is gone."  

Ribeiro is the leading Premier Soccer League goal scorer with 13 goals so far.

Sundowns are left with nine league games and that is a chance for the Brazilians forward to increase his tally.

But with Ribeiro's top performances, Sundowns could be forced to sell their striker back to Europe.

After having a free weekend, Sundowns' next assignment is the hosting of AmaZulu in a PSL match on Tuesday.

They will be trying to recover after dropping two points in their last match against Golden Arrows and Ribeiro would want to increase his tally.
