Tlou Segolela relishing Champions League run

Segolela: We are all fired up

Posted: 2012-02-09 12:39

Tlou Segolela says Orlando Pirates will progress to the group stages of the CAF Champions League if they follow the instructions of Brazilian coach Julio Leal and his technical team.

Bucs’ preparations during the League break have been focused more on their upcoming Champions League clash against Angolan outfit CRD Libolo on February 18 in Port Elizabeth.

During two recent practice matches against Angolan opposition, Leal and his technical team have been trying to get insights on the tactics their Champions League opponents are likely to employ against them.

“We are all fired up. I am very confident in the ability of the team and the coaches. We played against a team from Zambia yesterday and we won 2-1, so this shows you that they [the coaches and the players] know what they are doing,” Segolela tells KickOff.com.

“In Champions League and other important games, the coach will always have a game plan and it is up to us as players to follow their instructions.

“We have been training well and hard for the matches and are confident that we will achieve a positive result.”

He adds: “For some of us this is a chance to shine on a higher platform and I feel very honoured to be part of the team that will compete in the Champions League.”

Segolela, who is part of the Bucs’ 23-man Champions League squad, says a victory against Black Leopards in their next League match on February 15 would set the tone for a good result against the Angolans three days later.

“Black Leopards are also preparing for their continental competition so it will be a tough match. We have to win our first League match so that we face the team from Angola in the right frame of mind.”

(Luis Boa Morte) immediately after signing on the dotted line /18 months contract……….wanted to thank Bennie McCarthy and he went to Tlou Segolela for direction to Bennie’s crib and this is what he said:

Go straight down and u will see a big education(High School)
con left(turn left) then u’ll see the Robocop(Robots), con right
(Turn right)then go down until u see a big nothing(Open space) and
con left then right and u will see a big Sunday (Church),then

EL PRINCO: 2012-02-09 13:29

Im a buccaneer for life but Tlou is a cow, he dont want to grow as a footballer....evrytime i watch him i get very fustrated he always want to run run run even if there is no need,im glad that Leal finally bench him,if Boa Morte is beta than him he must play regardless of his age

champ nespray is a movie star look-alike coach: 2012-02-09 13:39

the CHANSA name continues until de final

if tlou gautrain was at chiemps, he should be playing in their tired jersy namba ten

a daily nwespaper have jus confirnmed dat khune was seen pushing n pulling chicken wheelchairs at mapholobas chicken farm.

Liesbeeck: 2012-02-09 13:43

Pirates has got an armoury to attain the 2nd star. It wont be a walk in the park but a mammoth task but we have got everything required to succeed in the champions league. If possible, its time to start winning for each and every PSL team a Golden Star starting with a big team that never made even to semis of the champions league, its unfair to have only one team in the whole of SA with a Golden Star. 'People must Share'.

champ nespray is a movie star look-alike coach: 2012-02-09 13:45

CHANSA'S(WHO PLAYS FOR DE UNDISPUTED CHAMPS) PASS SEND ZAMBIA TO A HISTORY FINAL
....................................

Undisputed Double-Trebble Champ Mopheme: 2012-02-09 14:08

Only six days to go and Bucs will be causing havoc all over the place and the opponents high-blood pressures will be going up again..! Shapa Buccaneer Shappaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!!!

People_Lie: 2012-02-09 14:17

Tlou said Gwa chesa mona gauteng the journalist just used direct translation and that's what he came up with "we are all fired up"

KING?: 2012-02-09 14:35

Dubuli Bhunu Chansa is making Pirates family very proud.

Anything associated with this Pirates SUPERBRAND is just a success.

Even those who supporting Chiefs but moved to Pirates due to Bobby treating them like k*k have seen the light and have found jobs n wifes.

East Rand: 2012-02-09 14:37

There is only one game I remember Tlou performing and that's the game against Sundowns either than that he has proven to be surplus to requirements. I doubt if he will ever develop as a player. Could someone please enlighten me. What is this guys strength mara???? He seriously lacks ball control especially near the touch line

Once and Always!!!!!

MDC : 2012-02-09 14:46

Wena u always fired up running like headless chicken.....

joe banana : 2012-02-09 14:47

now this is one overated player! i mean this guy has no football brain, all he knows, like all khoisans, is to run, run, and run more! and they still call seasoned and skilled players cows? oh come on!

Undisputed Double-Trebble Champ Mopheme: 2012-02-09 14:58

Gautrain.. Stimela se vayang ka electric..! Re a Vaya..! Ho tla nyewa next week ha liki e qala..!

KING?: 2012-02-09 14:59

East Rand: clearly you only watched that Sundowns game.

This won us the TREBLE, he contributed big time, who will forget his solo efforts against Free state, Platinum,Celtics etc.

He is an ASSET at Pirates and we dont expect someone from outside to advise us.

Undisputed Double-Trebble Champ Mopheme: 2012-02-09 15:00

The speed machine of SA football.

MR D : 2012-02-09 15:00

If they say Rats has quality referring to u khoisan I rest my case...u just run all over the pitch like u chasing a rabbit in the bush wish no directions....

Laaste Khosi: 2012-02-09 15:17

U must show me for the Zulu ess

Dooba OPC: 2012-02-09 15:19

ee,eee, is this cow still alive- I thought he was loaned or exported to Ghana or DRC- eee!

KING?: 2012-02-09 15:22

Ask Jimmy Tau n Punch Masenamela about this guy, they are in a stronger position to tell you about SOX.

Laaste Khosi: 2012-02-09 15:34

A brief history of Tlou. He was born to Khoisan parents and his real name is Autshumato II. He was a hunter since teh age of 3, and used to run up and down the mountains without getting tired. That explains the pace he posseses today.

Champ-Marapo: 2012-02-09 15:42

East Rand
Guys i don't like it when champs starts to sound like chimps....why do you forget easily like a chased away hobbo. This Sox guy is the one who led us to our Treble, so how could you remember only the Sundowns game.

Do you know why Nehayo was sold out of the farm?
Do you remember the ball that insulted Khune in the Vodacom challenge?
Tlou has been our key player until recently when he was affected by injuries...and as expected find it difficult to break in a star starden lineup once again.

@King
Mfowethu i am Champ Bones, they ,banned me for telling Phil Masinga that is too early for April fool after he said that queen of missing sitters Ncgobo is the main man. They banned me for saying it as it is.

Mabakhania ajabulile so this is cozn heartattack to everyone.

JaliManyisa: 2012-02-09 15:48

Ntwana you ar far better than Shabba,cause u can use both feet.
Shabba cant even trap or pass with his right foot.
they call you headless chicken but you mesmirized defenders.
Let them ask Tau.

Mr Who : 2012-02-09 15:57

@Mulafu the very same shabba is a regular bafana player and vice captain....ur headless chicken can't even make a grade in a lousy Pitso squad...shabba is wellknown around the world and his beautiful first goal in the 2010 in also written in the encyclopedia...Khoison is only known for chasing Rabbits in northern cape...I heard he got an award recently from the department of eviromental affairs and forestry in that province for hunting

Laaste Khosi: 2012-02-09 16:25

Autshumato II is not scared of taking on any defender in the PSL, but once you show him a hair comb he succumbs easily.

champ nespray is a movie star look-alike coach: 2012-02-09 16:27

East RAND: dnt pretend 2 b a bhakajuju so dat u may b able to attack our players at will. if he perfomed well against ndunu y dnt u sapot him to ensure dat he give de same performance everytime...ur one of de booo boys who tanishes de image of bucs
..............................................
Champ-Marapo: i trust u cos of ur first comment but if ur not, u will soon sure ur true colors...i know de comments of de original-champ bones by heart, lets wait n c...i hope ur de one.
.............................
JaliManyisa howz u brada-man...i recall our combination here on KO back den, it cost havoc for de ada 15 teams sapotas n fans. be prepared to celebrate more...were starting to celebrate wth chansa on sunday
..............................
Mr Who : 2012-02-09 15:57 mr wooo liang wee, segolela is valued above shaba according to international market...a certain team was prepared to pay less dan 2m for shaba n also prepared to fork out 8m or more for segolela.

sapot ur argument wth fact n if u include de failing pisto ur way of de mark. next time text wearing glass cos its clear u dnt see watever u write

Baroka fc : 2012-02-09 16:28

@Mr Who highly achieving players have league championship medals to show not some lousy WC goal which made no difference.

champ nespray is a movie star look-alike coach: 2012-02-09 16:34

Laaste Khosi: are u also one of dose mono-legged playas like shaba or no-leg like mapholobas chickens. a hunter bcame better dan u in soccer. he even represented u in de national team. he drove b4 u. he can take ur gal anytime without combing de hair

a hunter made it in de psl n a model c laaste khosi failed to even represent his school...dumb minded belong at naturena. dnt attack me, its ur problem dat ur dumb not mine

JaliManyisa: 2012-02-09 16:38

Baroka fc : 2012-02-09 17:07

Can't wait to see the Gautrain & Myeni terrorising the defenders down the flanks.The impact of our dominance is & will still be bitterly felt.

The Ghost: 2012-02-09 17:11

The power of the elephant. Tlou has the power of an elephant and the speed of a Cheetah. UP THE BUCS. This is one trophy I really want, which will subsequently add another star on top of that famous emblem.

The Ghost: 2012-02-09 17:12

SECOND EDITION

Let me start by saying thanks once again to Kickoff for the soccer news and updates we getting served with everyday on this site.

After some consideration and comparison between our forums and other forums e.g ****nal supporters forum it saddens me to see the huge difference in a sense that we South Africans tend to take advantage of the platform given to us to ABUSE and MISUSE the facilities by insulting our own coaches, players, opposition supporters and our team’s management. If you put yourself in the shoes of the likes of e.g Shabalala who is been called “Nyawana”, Ndulula who is been called “used condom”, and all the other guys who are been called names, how would you feel mara he???

A forum is made for us supporters to work hand in hand with the technical team for the betterment of our beloved teams. There is nothing wrong in criticizing and giving nicknames but let us do it professionally and constructively. I do not think that most players, coaches or any team management take us supporters seriously anymore because of our own doing on our respective forums, that is why most bloggers use fake/multiple usernames to logon sites.

Excuse my English, it is not my mother tongue after all.
