For me, that’s the most important thing right now. I was once on the other side, I was a young player.“It’s important to be close to these [players] – Vilakazi, Shabalala, Zwane, Duba.

I like them, the way they see they can go longer than where they are.”“That’s the most important thing that the technical team tell me that if I can do that part of the job, I’ll do it for sure. They need us more than I need them.

“It’s very important to be close to them, to be an older brother to them. They’re the future of Kaizer Chiefs. They’re the present and will be the future as well,” concluded Miguel.
