Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos says his target at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Ivory Coast is progressing to the knockout stages.
Bafana managed a 2-1 win, secured through goals from Zakhele Lepasa and Mihlali Mmayambela, over Liberia in Monrovia on Tuesday to secure safe passage to the tournament.Speaking at the team’s arrival at OR Tambo Airport on Wednesday night, the 70-year-old Belgian said the team has what it takes to go past the group stages.“We have to go through the group stages and then from there it is a bit of a lottery.
“We have to play the last match against Morocco but it will be more preparation for Afcon. We will try to win it because they are a good team. It will also be a good test for us, so we will take this game very seriously and try to get a good result in June. “The plan is in [my] head now and I have to put it on paper. For sure we will play games in September, October and November.
“We will try to do a camp and some tests with the players so that we have a good idea about their physical conditioning to prepare for Afcon next year.“I said it already last September that we have a group and I would like to go on with this group. We will look at other players and if there are better players we will take them but we have a good base now.“I believe in this team that we have at the moment and we have to progress in the future, that’s for sure.
