Thembinkosi lorch v percy tau v peter shalulile for top caf award
What a thrilling competition! Here's a brief analysis of each player's performance in the 2020-21 season:
Thembinkosi Lorch (Mamelodi Sundowns)
- Scored 11 goals and provided 7 assists in 24 league matches
- Helped Sundowns win the DStv Premiership title and the MTN8 Cup
- Was a key player in Sundowns' attack, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates
- Has been a consistent performer for Sundowns over the past few seasons
Percy Tau (Al Ahly)
- Scored 12 goals and provided 5 assists in 24 league matches
- Helped Al Ahly win the Egyptian Premier League title and the CAF Champions League
- Was a vital player in Al Ahly's attack, using his pace and skill to create scoring opportunities
- Has been a key player for Al Ahly since joining the club in 2019
Peter Shalulile (Mamelodi Sundowns)
- Scored 15 goals and provided 4 assists in 24 league matches
- Helped Sundowns win the DStv Premiership title and the MTN8 Cup
- Was a prolific goal-scorer for Sundowns, using his pace and finishing ability to find the back of the net
- Has been a consistent performer for Sundowns over the past few seasons
Based on their performances in the 2020-21 season, I would argue that Peter Shalulile has a slight edge over the other two players for the top CAF award. His 15 goals and 4 assists in 24 league matches make him the most prolific goal-scorer among the three, and his contributions to Sundowns' title-winning campaign cannot be overstated.
However, it's worth noting that Percy Tau's performances in the CAF Champions League and his role in Al Ahly's title-winning campaign should not be overlooked. Thembinkosi Lorch also had a strong season, and his consistency and creativity for Sundowns should not be underestimated.
Ultimately, the decision will depend on the CAF voters' criteria and preferences. But based on their performances in the 2020-21 season, I believe Peter Shalulile has a strong case for the top CAF award.
