Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has highlighted the key attributes of Oswin Appollis, who has emerged as one of the club’s standout performers this season.
The club signed Appollis from Polokwane City at the beginning of the season, beating competition from Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 24-year-old winger has quickly proven himself as a dependable figure for Pirates, contributing four goals and six assists across 22 appearances in all competitions.
Ouaddou says Appollis is an “interesting player”, noting that his low centre of gravity gives him an edge over opponents.
He believes the player has strong technical ability and can move quickly between the lines, adding that he scans the game well before receiving the ball.
“He is a very interesting player, his centre of gravity is very low,” said Ouaddou on SuperSport.
“He has a very good technique and has an ability to move between the lines with the small steps.
“He also has the capacity to see before receiving the ball. That is very important.”
The Bafana Bafana speedster netted in South Africa’s 2-1 win over Angola in their AFCON Group B winner.
