“It’s not everyone who can play in Europe” – Richard Ofori
Maritzburg United captain Richard Ofori recently pledged his future to the club by inking a new deal at the ‘Team of Choice’.
However, the media still continue to speculate on the future of the 26-year-old, who has underlined his commitment to the club.
“It’s not everyone who can play in Europe,” he stated. “I don’t focus much on what the media is saying, I need to focus on what I have in hand – playing in South Africa and playing for Maritzburg. I need to protect what I have in hand first. I don’t want to divide my mind.
Ofori also praised the standard of football in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in South Africa, saying it compares favourably to international standards.
“The tempo in the PSL is high, even compared to the national teams, the tempo is the same (as international),” he stated.
