Quotes It's a great feeling to get an opportunity to compete against top-level players to test my abilities and learn from them Yes, I'm a very positive-minded person. Once I have a vision, I work hard to achieve it. I always take time to consult with team analysts to check my tactical and fitness levels. They'll give me a report on which areas I need to attack more based on my heat maps. Do I need to rest or add an extra training session? Is it endurance or strengthening I should focus on? It takes time, but the results have been amazing. You must be tactically and technically sound. The emphasis is on scanning the opposition to create space for yourself, so you need an excellent first touch and quick thinking to change direction and initiate attacks. You need to be able to play between the lines and in very tight spaces. I always do my best without complaints and expectations. I don't doubt my abilities as a footballer; hence you'll see me in a calm state all the time. I always watch to learn. As a player, the main priority is to master your position and find means to counter the opposition's trickery Yes, Europe offers the highest level of competition because the majority of their leagues and competitions are of a very high standard and demand a lot from players. Having said that, we have seen the quality of African football in the CAF Champions League, CAF Confederation Cup and African Football League that we are not far off. Our leagues are also improving. They must focus on their craft and use every tool available to them to make a career out of football Ivory Coast is very good team, with big-name players with lots of experience. A very tactical team with physical presence, they are one of the favourites to lift the trophy. Striker Sebastian Haller is top quality, no doubt, but we focus on team strategies. However, the CAF Champions League is a different animal altogether, but we are on the right track I'm not special, I work hard and intelligently. I make sure I fully understand all my roles in possession of the ball and off it. In that way, I'm always involved in the game. When we put on the national team shirt, we do that with pride. We represent our proud nation, and we'll do our best to make them proud Themba Zwane: I’m Not Special, Jan 23,2024, Soccer Laduma by Soccer Laduma Writer External Links Category:Soccer players from South Africa Category:Living people Category:1989 births
