Picture: Ayanda Ndamane / Independent Newspaperswould approach the match against South Sudan with the sort of professionalism that the sold out Cape Town Stadium crowd deserved.
But Broos demands more of his charges. He wants them to be ruthless and has created winners’ mentality, which has seen them go unbeaten in their last 16 matches., beating the their opponents 3-0 with a professional and energetic performance that helped to create a buzz around the stadium."First of all, I have to congratulate my team for the performance, but also for the mentality," Broos said after the match.
Broos said when he took over three years ago that it felt like the players just rocked up at the national team with no drive and expectation to actually make a success of their international career. There can be no greater example of the team’s mentality shift than their run to the bronze medal at the previous AFCON in Ivory Coast, where they produced some dogged displays. With a bit of luck, they could have even made the final after taking Nigeria all the way to penalties in the semi-final.
