One can argue that Madisha's redemption was also boosted by the absence of Ricardo Nascimento, the reigning defender of the season, who's never featured this season, recovering from a severe groin injury. trueG_88
A few weeks ago, Downs coach Pitso Mosimane intimated that Madisha, who's formed a solid defensive partnership with Mosa Lebusa, deserves a Bafana call-up.
"The coach [Mosimane] sees the good work that I'm doing, so it was humbling to hear him saying that I deserve to play for Bafana," noted the Brazilians defender, who already boasts two Bafana caps. Madisha's resurgence has aided Downs to reach the Telkom Knockout final after beating Golden Arrows 2-1 in the semifinal in Durban at the weekend, setting-up a final date with high-flying Maritzburg United.
Madisha, 25, feels reaching the TKO final will go a long way in getting their league campaign back on track, starting by facing AmaZulu at Loftus Versfeld tonight . Second-placed Downs are winless in their last three league games, with one draw and two defeats against leaders Chiefs and Arrows.
