I managed to catch up with one of mzansi's lethal strikers who is firmly finding his feet in the pacey league of the Netherlands. Here's what he had to say in our interview:How have you settled in Holland since your arrival there last year?
Yes I have settled in well and fast in the first two months already,everything here according to me is so organised and I like it.
How was the reception like from your team mates and the fans of the club?
The people here are so helpfull and their positive aproach in others is something that I like.......my team mates & club is so professional in what they do and I have learnt alot from them and the fans are great aswell, every week we play in a full stadium.
How big of a club is FC Twente and how is the culture of football in the club and the community that supports your team?
According to what I have seen and heard so far, FC Twente is growing into a big club stronger and stronger each year,we have a family culture here with alot of faith in each other and the local community here is great. Almost 80% of the people in this town are TWENTE fans.
Would you say there is a big differance with style of play that is practiced in Holland compared to the PSL?
From what I have experianced within these last 6 months here, there is a huge differance in terms of tactical discipline of the players.
How is life for you outside football in Holland, does the cold temperatures not bother you?
Life off the field is not bad at all, I've got no worries with the cold temperature of this place...I just have to deal with it.
What can we expect from you next season, an overseas ambitions...moving to another league or team etc?
I dont think you guys should have major expectations at all, it's my first season here and all I can say is that next season is going to be better for me than this season.
Do you think you still stand a good chance of making it back to the national team again after being sidelined for a while at your club due to certain complications?
It's my first year here and it's a higher level than the PSL, it's not easy to arrive at a new club and start expecting to play, we have alot of quality here that does the job for the team which explains why we are a top club, I'm aware of that and it makes me tougher to handle this tough situation.
How is the national team gelling after the return of coach Parreira?
We are gelling well as a team, Mr Parreira has alot of experiance in top flight football.
