Golden Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi revealed the only factor he believes could disrupt Junior Dion’s impressive form this season.
In the current campaign, the Ivorian has found the back of the net seven times through his 10 matches played in the Betway Premiership.
He currently sits as the top goalscorer in the league. Bradley Grobler and Iqraam Rayners follow closely behind him; each having netted six goals.
Mngqithi says the only thing he’s worried about that he feels could distracts Dion’s impressive run can be the injuries. Otherwise, he feels the 31-year-old centre-forward has what it takes to carry the form throughout the season.
“My only fear with Dion not to maintain scoring is only injuries,” said Mngqithi.
“If he stays in the game, he’s probably one of the most focused footballers I’ve ever seen.
“In every meeting that we have, he’s always number one. In training, if we start at 8, he’s gonna be there at 7:30. With that mentality, everywhere he’s number one.
“When you greet players, he makes sure he’s the first one. Those traits can never go unnoticed. God has a funny way of generating luck for people like that.
“That’s what Peter [Shalulile] has also benefited from. Peter, you can say whatever you want to say with his shortcomings here and there but because level of professionalism and desire to perform at highest level, that’s why God has given him what he has.
“I will not be surprised if Dion also benefits from that.”
