WHAT HAPPENED?

"Sirino brings us a lot of experience, you know, he’s a fantastic player, a high-level player. He has shown at Mamelodi Sundowns, and he’s now proving at Kaizer Chiefs, that he brings many different things in the final third,” Miguel said, per<a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/betway-premiership/miguel-on-sizzling-sirino-foreigner-expectations/" target="_blank"> iDiski Times</a>.&nbsp;“A lot of creativity, like [against AmaZulu] for example, some wouldn’t believe he would score but from nothing, he got this fantastic goal and with his quality pass he made a good assist, he will give a lot to this team to improve also.“It’s always normal as a foreign player you need to do more than the others because it’s not my country, I have to adapt to this country and to prove why I was the chosen one – and the most important thing is to remain focused, the hard work you know,” he added.“That is what I tell the guys, there’s nothing more important than consistent and daily hard work, that will make the difference.”
