What did Ignacio Miguel say about his teammate!

One of his biggest qualities, he played in Europe also. Played against each other, I know him… when I was in Braga he was in Benfica, we played and I met him then, we spoke at the time, Even before he came here, I had a conversation with him, trying to make him know… he knows of course he’s a South African, but make it known it’s a big decision and good decision to come here.

Ignacio Miguel said.

He offers a lot of calmness like you said, it doesn’t mean we didn’t have it before. But it’s different, he has different skillset to [Samkelo] Zwane and Yusuf [Maart] for example, There’s moments when you need to cool down the game and he’s a big player to cool the game down during these transitions.
