  1. Wow he’s a defensive player now it’s interesting, meaning we have 3 defensive midfielders playing abroad now available for Bafana Lebogang Phiri who also caped of Man of the match perfomances in France then there Mokotjo & Serero Baxter has a choice of calling all of them but knowing him of fancying local players we will spectate once more in Egypt & crash out early if we will not utilise these kind of players.
