That's how new Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams feels after new coach Hugo Broos appointed the SuperSport United goalkeeper as captain ahead of Al Ahly superstar Percy Tau for the two Fifa World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Ghana this coming week.
"I think Rowen has the experience, he is a man that can communicate, that’s very important. On the other side we have Percy, he is obviously more quiet. He has experience of playing in several European leagues and has the respect of all the players," Broos said of his new leadership group. Williams, 29, made his national team debut back in 2014 already against Brazil, collecting 19 appearances over the seven-year period. He is, though, an experienced leader, having been captain of his club for a lengthy period and also recently leading the SA u-23 side at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics last month.
“I have been part of the national team set up for the past eight years. I think I have gained valuable experience over the years. It is a massive responsibility leading not only the team, but the whole country. That’s how I see it, but it’s something I am looking forward to,” Williams told the media at Dobsonville.
