MAMELODI SUNDOWNS’ DE REUCK SAYS ZWANE, SHALULILE DEFEND FROM THE FRONT

The former Maritzburg United star has become a strong contender for the DStv Premiership Defender of the Season, he is in fact expected to win the gong come the end of the term. 

For now, the Cape Town-born star is giving credit to his attacking teammates like Themba Zwane and Peter Shalulile.

“Defending starts from the front. So I think a lot of credit has to go to guys like Peter [Shalulile], [Themba] Zwane, [Thabiso] Kutumela, and Gaston [Sirino] to mention a few,” he told his club’s media.

“They’ve worked really hard for the team and they are a big reason the team is keeping so many clean sheets. 

“It’s also very important that we have a good understanding in the backline because there’s no room for error, we must almost have the perfect game all the time.”
