“He’s a tough participant to defend, even at this time the place Magesi was… decreasing the areas near the field, defending very very low. But yeah, Mohau is a participant who’s rising quick, he’s one of many gamers actually competing to be on the sector.

“That’s why, on this case, the coach decides to present him the duty within the second, that was not the nicest one to come back in, however I feel he answered ina great way, the identical approach he did it when he got here on towards Richards Bay in Durban.

“At 0-0, he contributed to get the three factors, so he’s one of many new faces coming in little by little into the crew and we have to create that actual depth within the squad, not solely since you all know there are there, however you don’t see them within the sport.
