Benni: Manyisa is SA's Xavi, Iniesta

Benni McCarthy video: Manyisa is like Xavi, Iniesta

Posted: 12 December 2011 Time: 08:37 am

Benni McCarthy spoke to KickOff.com exclusively after the Telkom Knockout Final, and says this Orlando Pirates team is like Porto under Jose Mourinho.

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE! "The level and the standard's been awesome," McCarthy says. "At the moment how I feel in this team is exactly how I felt at Porto, you know, this team's got a nice blend of the team we had at Porto under Mourinho."

The striker also insists Oupa Manyisa and Andile Jali are top class players.

"Oupa Manyisa, for me, that is Xavi, Iniesta of South African football; Andile Jali, wow, what a player, so for me those two players should definitely be playing in the national team."

McCarthy is a gud player everyone knows dat but, he must stop talking about his financial muscle.I'm referring 2 his comment after de Telkom Nock Out.

I can see now he started to be the Julius Malema of South African football. It's very bad for the game, I believe he is suppose to bring more integrity to our league but he is just bringing Shame. It is no doubt his abilities as a player are world class but his behavior is just embarrassment to millions. As a senior player and one of the most decorated player he was suppose to be more responsible.

Dr Khoza is a strategist, he knows Benni can haddle the media very well and he is expirince in doing so. WOW.

Benni Mr Magic, Powerball McCarthy u remain an icon in SA football.

ACE and Jali are simply the best u can find in the country....Pitso just carry this combo to the national team, they are both young, they are winners and they are talented.

Hold your horses Mr McFATTY, but the Xavis and Ineastas are world class, I mean they get nominated by various international experts for prestigous FIFA and continental awards, they win domestic, continental & world cup tournaments (3-5 leagues championship, more than 2 continental gold medals plus world cup team gold medal plus world cup national gold medal plus etc.) Jomo Sono is my witness. The Manyisas and the JALIs of RSA are not seasonal performers, they are not world class yet, lets wait and see, cause glimpses of up & down performances cannot really give us a true reflection of a classic player but only continous consitiency will. So for me the FAT ONE is just drunk, the two players he is referring to are just plain overrated avarage players with potential.
