Siphiwe Tshabalala will head into the Bafana Bafana camp for this weeks international friendly match against Paraguay a happy man as he picked up the man of the match award on Friday evening, as The Amakhosi won back to back league matches for the first time this season. The Bafana Bafana winger was in destructive form Friday as he mesmerized Amazulu on the wing and was part of the build up which lead to Chiefs scoring the games only goal, when he headed on an Onismor Bhasera pass to Mabhudi Khenyeza on the stroke of half time. Khenyeza turned home the lay off and scored the games only goal, which saw Chiefs through to a hard worked single goal, win.

Tshaba luck

The nimble left-winger believes that while he has improved game by game over the past few matches, he still feels that he is still somewhat off the mark in terms of his form as he would like to be. He said to kaizerchiefs.com “ it is the best feel to be given the honour of man of the match especially after working hard like we did against Amazulu to win the game. While I am pleased with the fact that we won the match I still feel that I am not yet on top of my game, and I am working towards getting there soon”.

Roque tall test

Siphiwe takes a break for a couple of days from club commitments as he prepares with the national team for an international friendly match against Paraguay, the news that the South Americans will be fielding their strongest team against Bafana Bafana. Is exciting news for Tshabalala who is looking forward to taking on the likes of Paraguay’s Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz.

Improvement

Tshabalala added “even though I said that I am still some what off where I would like to be in terms of my game, I do believe that the improvement I have been showing in form will help me against Paraguay. They are an inform team at the moment and are ahead of Brazil in the South American FIFA World Cup qualifying table and are just behind Argentina in second place. To test yourself and help yourself improve as a player playing against opponents who are different to the ones you are used can help improve ones form. With a big game against Sundowns on the weekend playing Paraguay will be the perfect run out for me ahead of the Cup meeting with the Brazilians”.
