Mofokeng now has 10 goals in all competitions this season, and that after a slow start to the campaign in which he only really began to fire in January. In fact, all nine of his league goals have come since the turn of the year and in his last 10 appearances.
The 21-year-old also netted a first career hat-trick in his previous league game against TS Galaxy before the international window and came close to another on Tuesday when he also struck the woodwork.
“I don't like to speak individually about the players, because for me, I always say that the individuality, or the individual project, should be at the service of the collective project,” said Ouaddou.
“But as you ask me that question, let me say these kinds of players you get every 10 or 15 years.
“He has talent. It is in his blood, he's still young. Of course, we need to give him some instructions to be even more efficient, especially in that area (of the field) where there are a lot of duels. It's crowded,” added the coach.
“The talent he has, technicality yes, the intelligence he has this, but sometimes when you have such quality like that, sometimes you misuse these qualities. Our job is just to make him aware that there are some strategic areas on the pitch where he needs to limit his touches and to use his cleverness.
“He has been doing this for a lot of games now. You can see that he's able to give assists to his teammates. He's able to score, he's very mobile in the middle.
“Some people think that he cannot play as a No. 10. I think he can play everywhere. Ok … maybe not as a defender!” joked Ouaddou.
Mofokeng will next be in action when Pirates take on Richards Bay in the league on Friday, where a win will take them back to the top of the Betway Premiership table.
