Hugo Broos Expecting the Best Version of Percy Tau! The Lion of Judah recently won the biggest tournament in the continent.
Percy Tau won the CAF Champions League with Al Ahly over the weekend. As a result of this, Hugo Broos is expecting him to be at his best for Bafana Bafana.
South Africa take on Morocco in their final AFCON Qualifier this weekend. Both teams have already made it to the showpiece event in Ivory Coast, so this match will prove to be an exercise for both outfits.
Although it will be good for Bafana Bafana to test their level against Morocco, who became the first ever African side to reach a FIFA World Cup semi-final in Qatar last December.
“What I know about Percy is that when he comes to the national team he wants to perform,” Broos told the media recently.
“But he wasn’t ready to perform a year ago,”
“He wasn’t playing at Al Ahly. He would play and then after four or five weeks he was injured, and then every time he came to the national, he was coming out of injuries.
“And I said I hoped he could leave Al Ahly and go to a team where he was playing, because a good Percy Tau is very important to us.
“So now when I see him in the past few months, he’s a regular, he’s always playing, and when he plays, he’s always good.
“Certainly, in the games I have seen — in the Champions League games and last night [Sunday] again — you see he’s fresh, he’s in good shape.
“I know Ahly won last night, and they will celebrate — it’s totally normal he does too. But when he arrives here tomorrow evening, he will be ready.
“I know he will perform with Bafana Bafana. And he also knows what we saw before from Percy was not at his level.
“So, I’m happy now about what’s happened to him at Al Ahly, and I’m looking forward [to his display].” He added.
Kick off on Saturday is at 17h00. Hugo Broos Expecting the Best Version of Percy Tau!
