Mbekezeli Mbokazi on his USA career: I am glad to be where I am and I just hope I will be able to do well to grow from here
Mbekezeli Mbokazi has expressed gratitude on his move to Chicago Fire from Orlando Pirates.
The Bafana Bafana defender faced a lot of backlash from the national team coach after securing the move to USA’s MLS in November but the player sounded a pleased man regarding the move.
“I’m also thankful for the opportunity, so that I can be able to reach the level that people want me to reach,” said Mbokazi during the interview with South African Football Journalist Association (SAFJA).
“I think it becomes difficult when you hear how people speak where I come from.” “But what people must learn or know is that it’s not that easy to go to highest level than where I am now.
“What I can say is, I’m still young and I’m growing. Everything will happen when the time is right.
“The level that I want to reach later, I know I’ll reach it. The age is still on my side, I won’t rush to do things, wanting to jump to ‘big moves’ just because people want that. Yes, people wish us well but we won’t rush to get, we need to start somewhere first.
“Where I am right now, I feel it’s good. And I don’t think there’s a problem that I’m here because I’m enjoying.
“It’s lessons and growth, so I’m happy that I started here. When the time has come for me to go where I wanna be, I’ll go, I won’t rush to get there."
