Sundowns were the kings of South African football — they still are — and were stocked with some of the best players in the country.However, Broos changed his mind in 2022, and since then, they’ve never looked back. In the last two years, Zwane has become the most important player in Broos’ team., and when he got injured last month, panic could be heard ringing all across the country such is his importance to the cause.
“Themba is not only a good player but also a good human being. And when he came the first time to the team, I explained to him why he wasn’t with us from the beginning, and I think he is not a stupid guy. He understood it and maybe he had to say, also coach, maybe you were right at that moment,” Broos told the“But I gave him full confidence from the beginning. I asked him to play in a certain way. Themba for us is the man who has to play between the lines.
