Hy het sy sokker as kind in die strate van die \u201cscheme\u201d gespeel en Maandag 28 Junie het Moegamat Yusuf Maart (26) vir sy land op die veld uitgedraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yussi, soos hy alom bekend staan, is nou \u2019n Bafana Bafana-speler en deel van die span wat tans aan die Cosafa-beker deelneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 toernooi vind in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) plaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was een van my drome om Suid-Afrika te verteenwoordig,\u201d het die kranige middelveldspeler aan Weskus Nuus<\/i> vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yussi het Maandag in sy eerste wedstryd slegs net sowat 10 minute speelkans gekry, maar die speler s\u00ea dit was genoeg om hom sprakeloos te laat. Gevra hoe die oomblik gevoel het, kon Yussi net eenvoudig s\u00ea \u201cWow!\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bafana Bafana het die wedstryd teen Botswana 1-0 gewen en ook sy kanse lewendig gehou om die uitspeelronde te haal. Yussi vertel opgewonde dat sy sokkertalent baie in Atlantis ontwikkel is voordat hy uiteindelik deur groter klubs opgeraap is. Hy was deel van verskillende plaaslike klubs en was \u2019n leenspeler vir Jomos Power voordat die Suid-Afrikaanse kampioenklub Orlando Pirates hom as 20-jarige opgeraap het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was eenvoudig \u2019n geleentheid wat ek nie verby kon laat gaan nie, aangesien een van my drome ook was om op televisie sokker te speel. Die tyd by Pirates was eenvoudig wonderlik en het my talent verder ontwikkel,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yussi was die afgelope seisoen by Sekhukhune United waar hy in die PSL- eersteliga-afdeling gespeel het. \u201cOns het egter die liga gewen en speel volgende seisoen in die premierliga. Harde werk l\u00ea nou voor aangesien ek die geleentheid met beide hande wil aangryp om in die beginspan te wees,\u201d vertel hy opgewonde. \u201cVir nou is ek net dankbaar dat ek in die groep van 20 spelers vir die toernooi is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suid-Afrika het Donderdag (8 Julie) teen Eswatini gespeel en weer 1-0 gewen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yussi s\u00ea hy is gereed vir die werk wat nou verl\u00ea aangesien sy volgende doelwit is om oorsee te gaan speel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sal as \u2019n Chelsea-ondersteuner graag op Stamford Bridge wil speel, maar omdat ek net my beste wil gee, gee ek nie om waar ek oorsee speel nie. Vir eers fokus ek op die toernooi en daarna wil ek net my beste vir my klub gee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yussi het sy familie, vriende en almal in Atlantis kort n\u00e1 sy eerste wedstryd op sy Facebookblad bedank vir hul ondersteuning en s\u00ea hy is trots om \u2019n seun van Atlantis te wees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
