Bafana won two matches in a row when they thrashed Sierra Leone 4-0 and also narrowly beat Botswana 1-0 in September. Broos is hoping for the repeat performances against Mozambique and Angola.
“What I saw against Sierra Leone I want to see the same way of playing but maybe it won’t be that successful because Mozambique and Angola are stronger than Sierra Leone. I want to see that at last, we have a certain manner of playing,” says the tactician.Bafana Bafana were planning to play against Uzbekistan and one of the Middle East Countries before they settled for the COSAFA region teams.
“The first plan was to go to Dubai and play against Uzbekistan and maybe the Emirates or Saudi Arabia. One moment Uzbekistan said no we are not playing because of money and we have to go for other teams so we have Mozambique and Angola and you have to find the good dates for them,” says the Bafana coach.Orlando Pirates’ new sensation Monnapule Saleng has been recalled to the squad following brilliant performances for his team in recent weeks.
“He was very strong on the right side he scored goals. We know Saleng already from last year playing in the Olympics, but we didn’t see him anymore and now he is back again- you saw his qualities,” says Broos. Bafana will meet Mozambique on the 17th, and Angola on the 20th of this month at the Mbombela stadium.
