Patrick Maswanganyi Almost Quit Playing Football! The attacker had doubts about being good enough to pay the sport.
Patrick Maswanganyi recently joined Orlando Pirates. Despite his obvious talents, he once considered quitting football because of self-doubt.
Tito joined The Buccaneers from SuperSport United in the transfer window. Before this, he played in Portugal, in the lower leagues.
In fact, Maswanganyi began his professional journey in Portugal. This is after he left the Stars of Africa football academy as a teenager.
However, after arriving back in South Africa in 2022, he began to question whether he is good enough to continue playing.
“When I came back to South Africa, I had a lot of doubt in myself because I had hoped to play in Europe a bit longer,” he told the club website.
“You know, it is every young footballer’s dream to play in Europe. But I had to come back and perhaps that was the source of the self-doubt I was experiencing.
“I was really afraid. I even went to tell my grandmother that I am thinking of quitting because I thought I was not capable of playing good football anymore. But when I started playing in the Premier League things started to change, I realised that I still do have football.
“From there I kept a positive attitude and started working extremely hard in training,” he added.
The striker has already scored for The Buccaneers, in pre-season. Patrick Maswanganyi Almost Quit Playing Football!
