Hugo Broos Doesn’t Want to Play Countries Like Botswana!

Hugo Broos Doesn’t Want to Play Countries Like Botswana! This follows their recent victory last Saturday night.

Bafana Bafana defeated Morocco 2-1 in their final AFCON Qualifier this weekend. Head coach Hugo Broos would rather face opponents of this magnitude from now on.

Since taking over he reigns as head coach, Broos has always insisted that the national team needs to test themselves against some of the best teams around. This is why Bafana Bafana played then world champions France in a friendly before the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

This is the level of opponents he wishes to maintain as of now.

“There’s a FIFA window in September, October and November.

“We will also try to have some games in January before AFCON. We now have to play against good opponents.

“With all due respect, we mustn’t play against Botswana, no! We need to have teams like this [referring to Morocco] now.

“We know that this is another level than Botswana with all due respect. This is what we have to do in our friendly games in September and October.

“We need those tougher opponents to make us stronger and to be ready for AFCON.”

Broos also added that despite criticism, he has always believed in his particular crop of players.

“I’ve believed in them [his players], even though some people didn’t believe in them and maybe because I made bad choices, and I didn’t understand the South African culture. You don’t build a team in one day.

“You need time, and, in that time, defeats can be very useful. We had some and they were very useful,” he spoke.

The national team will play in the COSAFA Cup next. Hugo Broos Doesn’t Want to Play Countries Like Botswana!
