In a recent interview with Soccer Laduma, Mokoena shared his insights on how he achieved such impressive statistics, attributing his success to the role he plays within the team and the style of play employed by his side.
As a deep-lying playmaker, Mokoena plays a pivotal role in both defence and attack, providing a crucial link between the defenders and the forwards.
"I just think of the role that I play and also the way the team plays," he told the Siya Crew.
"Because I'm more of a deep-lying playmaker. I connect with the defenders, and I connect with the strikers. So, I'm connected everywhere, so I think that's why I'm part of that stat, you know," Mokoena explained.
His ability to read the game, distribute the ball efficiently, and control the tempo of play has made him a key asset for his team. Mokoena's vision and precise passing have allowed him to dictate the flow of matches, contributing not only in defence but also in setting up offensive plays and creating goalscoring opportunities.
