He has great potential: Broos defends Lepasa’s Bafana selection: Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has defended his decision to include Zakhele Lepasa in his squad despite the striker’s disappointing returns for his club Orlando Pirates.
Lepasa has scored one goal in his nine appearances for Pirates in the Premier Soccer League, but started as the target man for Bafana in their friendly match against Mozambique on Thursday night.
While some may feel there are more deserving strikers to start for the national team ahead of Lepasa, Broos feels the 25-year-old has a great potential to be something big.Against Mozambique, Lepasa didn’t have a good first half but he came right in the final stanza. “I said to him during half time ‘Zakhele you will never touch the ball, you have to move left and right and comeback’ and you saw in the second half he was on the ball.”
“He has great potential, but you need to be patient with him. You need to talk to him and you need to tell him what he has to do and you will see how good he is,” Broos said.“ is that he doesn’t play all the games in his team and this is the decision of their coach. But for me he is a very good striker and you saw that today.”
