TOUGHEST OPPONENTS

Bhasera featured in handful of derbies in his two seasons with Kaizer Chiefs and says he still rates Joseph Makhanya and Dikgang Mabalane as the toughest opponents he has to defend against. At the Nations Cup in Gabon, he was up against Riyad Mahrez and Sadio Mane. “When you play against players of that quality you always need to be very aware and make quick decision. There is no time, you cannot switch off because those guys will punish you. If you give them a small opening, they will punish you. Your game needs to be 100 percent focused all the way. It’s a high level.”
