“And we need to be honest there is pressure when you play for Bafana Bafana. It might look easy but its’ not because the jersey is heavy, I mean you are representing a country.
“So, for this boy to be composed, well done to him, and like I said, the boy was under pressure because he set a standard when he got promoted.
“Yes, he was a bit off for three months because a lot was put on his shoulders. He redeemed himself from the game against Sundowns then Bafana so well done to this boy he did very well.”
