“I think Lesley was the one because I used to watch him a lot when he came back home to play because we are from the same hometown,” said 27-year-old Mudau, established as one of the key players for the Brazilians since he joined almost two years ago. “Playing in different positions in my early days helped me a lot as a player. Going forward I can give you something and defensively I am sure I will come up with something too.”
“I knew I had to work hard and improve every day at training and during matches and that’s what I have been doing. “When you are good, it is difficult to stimulate you. It is like students who are in a maths class and they already know algebra and all the other things taught in matric. He is that type of player.
