Former Orlando Pirates star Sifiso Myeni has made a plea to head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou and his technical team regarding Sebastian Pedersen, with the striker yet to enjoy an extended run of opportunities since his arrival.
Pedersen joined the Buccaneers from Norwegian outfit Sogndal at the start of the season, signing a two-year contract with an option to extend his stay by a further year.

However, the 27-year-old has had limited involvement in matchday squads, raising questions about his role under Ouaddou.
Speaking on Omni Audio Africa, Myeni believes Pedersen deserves the same opportunities given to his fellow strikers.
“Orlando Pirates are not fair to Pedersen. Give the man a chance, guys. The way you’ve been giving the strikers a chance,” Myeni said.
“[Evidence] Makgopa, [Boitumelo] Radiopane, [Yanela] Mbuthuma, Pedersen also deserves the same chance that everyone is getting, guys.
“As Orlando Pirates supporters, we want to see more of him getting a chance so that we can judge him, because now a lot of people are judging him when we haven’t seen that much from him.”
“Some have had five, six, seven, eight games. All of them have had a lot of games, but Pedersen’s games are very few, do you understand? So Orlando Pirates, can we see more of Pedersen,” he added.

“We know that you guys want to win, but us as fans, we would like to see more of Pedersen. We can’t sign a player and then not have a say. Let’s see him.
“Everyone has gotten a chance. So Orlando Pirates, please, we beg you, and I beg you personally, I want to see more of him.”
