Mbekezeli Mbokazi. TLB. What a colossal defender.
My Man of the Match regardless of the result.
Operating as a centre-back/left centre-back, possesses an outstanding passing repertoire. Genuine playmaker from deep zones, capable of breaking lines through the thirds, switching play with precision, and dictating possession from the back.
Brilliant left foot (a weapon in build-up), allowing him to progress attacks rather than merely circulate possession. Outstanding distribution abilities.
What truly impresses me is his work without the ball. He reads danger early, positions himself intelligently, and consistently arrives in the right place at the right time.
Clearances, blocks, interceptions, recovery runs: he does the fundamentals at an elite level. Rather than diving into challenges, he prefers to anticipate and extinguish attacks before they develop.
Pace allows him to defend large spaces, his 1v1 defending is aggressive yet controlled, and he looks remarkably comfortable defending wide channels when isolated.
In an era where centre-backs are constantly exposed in transition, those qualities are invaluable.
20 y/o and already one of South Africa's brightest defensive prospects. You did your country proud today.
Regardless of the scoreline, that was a centre-back performance full of courage, composure and immense quality.
The future is incredibly bright. 👏🇿🇦
Where are those who love to spew hate & division amongst South Africans? Nywe nywe stronger together when its rugby only. White South Africans don't support Bafana Bafana, blah blah.. What is this⬇️? No DNA, just RSA 🇿🇦😭
He couldn't have ever imaged when he joined City in 2017 that this is how he will bow out. Captain, treble winner and a club legend. Thank you, Bernardo 🩵
عائلة جوارديولا هي السبب الحقيقي ورا رحيله عن مانشستر سيتي .. مش الضغط ولا النتايج.
الراجل ده عاش 8 سنين في إنجلترا وكأنه آلة.
ماكانش بيشتغل بس.. كان عايش في الملعب والتكتيك والاجتماعات.
النتيجة؟
انفصاله عن زوجته كان بسبب إنه "مش موجود أصلاً" في البيت.
رجعوا لبعض ، لكن الموضوع فضل معلق.
وبعدين والده.. الراجل عنده 94 سنة.
جوارديولا قالها بصراحة : عايز أقعد معاه الوقت اللي باقي.
وحتى أولاده.. كانوا بيظهروا معاه فقط في لحظات التتويج.
غير كده؟ تقريباً مش موجودين في حياته.
النهاردة جوارديولا قرر يقفل الصفحة مؤقتاً.
ما قالش هيرجع يدرب امتى ، وفي الغالب هياخد بريك طويل.. يرتاح ، يرجع لعائلته ، ويعيد ترتيب أولوياته قبل أي تحدي جديد.
الخلاصة اللي محدش بيتكلم فيها:
جوارديولا فاز بكل حاجة ممكنة.. بس خسران حاجات كتير في البيت.
دلوقتي اختار إنه يربح عيلته.أحياناً أكبر قرارات المدربين الكبار مش بتكون كروية..
بتكون إنسانية
Winning Two trophies, and 2nd place finish in a transition season after the horrible season we had last season, shows the standards of this club. Gutted we didn’t win the league, but happy enough to us push for the league. We go again next season COME ON CITEH 🩵
All Pep’s done to become arguably the greatest manager in Premier League history and we have Fabrizio Romano announcing his successor before City have even put out any kind of statement.
He deserved to announce it on his own terms like Klopp. Stuff like this ruins the sport.
Out of the whole Unshaken EP Ngiyazisola is fighting for my attention every second 😭😭🔥Gusto Jazz knew exactly what he was doing with Ngiyazisola 😭🔥 this song is dangerous.
