“I know that Libya are preparing very hard for us. Because this game we are going to play is going to decide which team goes to the Afcon.”
Bafana need a draw from the Group E Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Tunisia‚ and Libya need a win‚ to reach Egypt 2019 in June and July.
Libya were able to penetrate Bafana’s defence on a few occasions with a very effective counterattack in the corresponding fixture in Durban in September‚ a 0-0 draw. “I know that Libya are preparing very hard for us. Because this game we are going to play is going to decide which team goes to the Afcon‚” Mothiba said in Tunisian capital Tunis‚ where Bafana are camping before a 270-kilometre bus ride to Sfax on Thursday.
“So for us‚ we must just keep focus‚ and keep working hard at training‚ and listen to the coach’s instructions and do our best.”They will train at the 25‚000-seater Stade Taïeb Mhiri match venue on Friday and Saturday.
