Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has warned fans against putting pressure on youngster Camren Dansin.
The 21-year-old impressed during the Buccaneers‘ 2-0 win over Milford and was awarded Man of the Match.
Dansin impressed during pre-season and even wore the captain’s armband in one of the friendlies in Spain.
Speaking after the match, Ouaddou said Dansin should be allowed to grow and not get hyped up.
“We have to be very careful. I have been in the business for a while, but the boy is doing well – we took time to bring this young talent in, you remember last season; I didn’t hesitate to put him in a very big game against Sundowns, and he scored a fantastic goal,” Ouaddou said as per iDiski Times.
“He was with us in most games; we have detected the talent, but you don’t have to burn this talent; it’s step by step.
“People didn’t understand why it took so much time to bring him, but we knew what we were doing.”
Ouaddou a big fan of Dansin
The 21-year-old midfielder made his debut under Ouaddou and impressed, scoring a memorable goal against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Berway Premiership.
Last season, he only featured six times but Ouaddou revealed why he wasn’t overexposed despite showing glimpses of brilliance.
Against Milford, Dansin impressed and will be one of the first players Ouaddou will select in his starting lineup against Durban City this weekend in the MTN8.
