This week, we swing the spotlight on two talented footballing youngsters, Muhammed Zidaan Ebrahim and Leroy Sande, who attend different schools, Al Ghazali College and Laudium Secondary respectively and also play for different clubs, Aztec FC and Delfos FC, but who share the same dream of one day making it to the top in football. Striker, Muhammed Zidaan has his eye on goals, while Leroy impresses as a skillful right-winger, with his pace down the flank. Both lads cited Brazilian superstar, Neymar JR as their favorite international player, admiring his flare and confidence. Despite their youthful enthusiasm for the game, the pair understand that becoming pro-footballers will require years of training, hard work and determination. Beyond their footballing ambitions, the lads remain grounded by their families, sharing the same heartfelt dream of one day buying their mothers beautiful homes. The Laudium Sun wishes Muhammed Zidaan and Leroy all the very best as they continue working hard towards turning their dreams into reality. Good luck guys!!
