The Brazilians full-back has laid down a significant marker for the South African giants following their impressive continental success on the global stage. After securing the FIFA African-Asia-Pacific Cup with a hard-fought victory over Al-Malaki, the 31-year-old is already looking toward future dominance. He believes that maintaining their status as Africa’s premier club is the only way to ensure the Pretoria giants continue to rub shoulders with the world’s elite.
The Brazilians coach was left in an emotional state following his side's historic victory over Al-Ahli Saudi, choosing to dedicate the silverware to the memory of the late midfielder. The Portuguese tactician admitted to the personal toll the 25-year-old's passing has taken on him while celebrating a landmark moment for South African football.
