The video, as shared by the club via YouTube on Monday afternoon, features the likes of Vincent Pule, Abel Mabaso, Ben Motshwari, Kabelo Dlamini, and the club’s active legend Happy Jele.

As a winger, Pule begins the feature by explaining what a 50% cross is. “It is when the wide attacker crosses the ball [to land] in front of the keeper and [behind] the defenders in order for the striker to gain an advantage in finishing the attack,” he said.

The next term that was explained was ‘breaking the line.’ The player that was chosen to define the word was a man who is one of the best in the DStv Premiership in breaking lines: Abel Mabaso.

“It is breaking the defensive lines of the opposition. Our attacking player runs beyond their defenders and we [midfielders] pass the ball beyond their defensive line.”
