HOW ERASMUS AND NDLONDO COULD PLAY TOGETHER

These two new superstars’ playing positions will offer at least three possibilities for coach Jose Riveiro.

Two 10s

One of these would be playing together as two number 10s behind a center forward like Zakhele Lepasa or Eva Nga.

9 and 10

Another option will be putting Ndlondlo in the number 10 role while Erasmus will sit in front of him as a center forward. Ndlondlo has all the technical ability to find Erasmus will the perfect passes.

8 and 10

Last but not least, with Ndlondlo having the quality to also play as a number eight, coach Riveiro could be able to place Erasmus just in front of him in the number 10 role.
