'I don't really think he understood what we asked,' said the Bafana head coach.
Hugo Broos has explained why he took off Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa just 35 minutes into his Bafana Bafana debut in the 3-1 Fifa World Cup qualifying Group G win over Ethiopia in Bahir Dar on Saturday.Mabasa did appear to pick up a slight knock early in the match, but the Bafana head coach showed his ruthless streak as he explained that he took off the 25 year-old because he didn’t seem to understand Bafana’s tactics.
“I know it is a bit disappointing for Tshegofatso, but he had difficulties, and for us it was better that we changed. I explained why, we trained on it this week, but I don’t really think he understood what we asked and therefore we had to change it,” said Broos. “It is always a bad thing to just before kick off to have to change a player because he is injured,” said Broos.
