Arrows goalkeeper impresses Atletico Madrid coach

Golden Arrows reserve side goalkeeper Njabulo Cebekhulu has left an impression on Atletico Madrid’s youth goalkeeper coach Francesco Musacchio.


Cebekhulu had one-on-one session with Musacchio in the absence of Sherwyn Naicker, who is currently nursing an injury after getting a knock during the team’s 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday.

“I like Cebukhulu, he’s a very good goalkeeper. I had a very good session with him. He’s got a good level of technical quality hence it was very simple to work with him. For a goalkeeper, he’s also got a very good height as well,” Mussachio said.

“If a goalkeeper doesn’t have a good level of technical quality, the training session becomes very complicated to prepare. I enjoyed this training session thus it is always important for the goalkeeper and the coach to enjoy.”

Arrows are touring Spain as part of their winning prize for winning the Multichoice Diski Challenge.
