Picos U20 Overview

The dominance of the CAF Champions League-winning club players in the South African national team squad has once again raised questions, but the club’s strong representation has been defended as a reflection of the quality within the Chloorkop ranks.

Masandawana fans finally caught a glimpse of the left-footed attacker back on the pitch this past weekend, but his head coach has warned that the Brazilian is still a long way from full match sharpness. The forward made his seasonal debut during the hard-fought victory over Al Ahli Jeddah after a frustrating spell on the sidelines with a shoulder injury.

Former national team captain Thulani Hlatshwayo has expressed his immense excitement regarding the current crop of talent available to the South African side. The veteran defender believes that the upcoming generation of centre-backs is among the best the country has ever produced, providing a massive boost for head coach Pitso Mosimane.

The 27-year-old right-back has hit the ground running at Chloorkop, earning high praise for his seamless transition into the team during their recent continental clash. The former Polokwane City defender made an immediate impact, providing the decisive assist in the Brazilians’ victory over the Saudi giants.
