Why The South African Generation Of Thulani Serero, George Maluleka & Daylon Claasen Was The Best

By Tshepang Mailwane

Uefa Pro License instructor and former Botswana national team coach Adel Amrouche has explained why he feels the generation under-20 generation of Thulani Serero, George Maluleka and Daylon Claasen should have taken South African football to greater heights. Currently in Johannesburg to take a bit of a break, Amrouche spoke glowingly of the 2009 under-20 team which was coached by Serame Letsoaka. That team qualified for the 2009 under-20 FIFA World Cup in Egypt, featuring the likes of Serero, Maluleka, Claasen, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Darren Keet, Kamohelo Mokotjo, Philani Khwela, Thulani Ngcepe, Phumelele Bhengu and Thabang Matuka.

“The last generation of Serero, Maluleka…that generation under Serame Letsoaka in 2009. That is the best generation. They lost that group and I hope this generation that Broos has,” Amrouche told the Siya crew. “I saw that team in 2009. I still have the team sheet of that team from 2009. When you have players like Daylon Claasen, Thulani Ngcepe, Thabang Matuka. Serero was intelligent, Maluleka was strong, Claasen was also intelligent. All these players were good at that moment. I followed the games. When I talk, I must be sure what I talk about. I saw that team play and that team was better than Ghana and Cameroon in that moment. That was the team for the future of South Africa.

Past tense leyo, they are old now

True they should be like the class of 1996 which won the AFCON and also went to represent us in the 1998 FIFA word cup .
