Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Yusuf Maart should sleep with a smile on his face. Earning respect from a guy like Hlompho Kekana is not small water.

“He applied himself in a big space, a big match like that. To be able to do that, you need to have guts. Not many players can do that, “ Kekana said via FARPost.
“You and I can even go there in that field without pressure. Even with these people, you won’t even hit a crossbar. That’s how pressure is. You have to have guts to do that.
“I salute him for doing that. I cannot talk about myself I retired a long time ago. My goals, you know them, I cannot talk about them.

The Zebediela-born legend, ever so humble throughout his career, refreshingly gave himself credit for a change.
“Not many players can do what I have done. It’s simply because I possess different game models, so I always knew the way I play,” the former star added.
“|Nobody else would do something similar to that. With the technique that I prepared for the matches or the goals that I scored were always different,” he said.

“They set different meanings to me because I know the goal that I scored in Cameroon is a different technique to the one I scored against Cape Town City. There is a different technique that I apply.
“It depends on the ball or even the pitch. All those things I would take into consideration,” the former Bafana Bafana midfielder concluded.
