SOUTH Africa Mens Hockey coach Cheslin Chie is expecting great things from explosive forward Mustapha Cassiem, ahead of the teams much-anticipated Olympic Games opener against the Netherlands in Paris today.
Mustapha, 22, burst onto the international hockey stage as a teenager at the last Olympics in Tokyo, three years ago.
The former Bishops schoolboy star found the back of the net three times in his maiden Olympic appearance and thrilled everyone with the partnership he formed up front with his elder brother Dayaan.
Chie knows that Mustapha is no longer an unknown force, especially as he now plays his club hockey for professional outfit HDM in the Netherlands, and will indeed be a marked man.
However, Chie believes the youngster has the talent and belief to find a way to succeed.
