“I play as a 10,” Zwane adds.
“You must be tactically and technically sound. The emphasis is on scanning the opposition to create space for yourself, so you need an excellent first touch and quick thinking to change direction and initiate attacks. You need to be able to play between the lines and in very tight spaces.”
Zwane feels that African football is growing and can compete with Europe when it comes to developing players.
“It depends on individual players’ ambitions. Yes, Europe offers the highest level of competition because the majority of their leagues and competitions are of a very high standard and demand a lot from players.
“Having said that, we have seen the quality of African football in the CAF Champions League, CAF Confederation Cup and African Football League that we are not far off. Our leagues are also improving.”
When watching football on TV, Zwane is always trying to learn.
I always watch to learn. As a player, the main priority is to master your position and find means to counter the opposition’s trickery.
