Banyana coach Ellis rewards local players with inclusion in squad for friendly against Serbia: Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis has announced the squad for the international friendly against Serbia as they prepare for the upcoming Fifa Women’s World…
In her 23-woman squad for the match scheduled for April 10, Ellis included a number of players who have done well in the Hollywoodbets Super League like Regirl Ngobeni, Fikile Magama, Bongeka Gamede and Wendy Shongwe.“We have spoken about giving them opportunities, some of them have never been to camp before,” said Ellis.“We have spoken to them about what we feel they need to work on and some of them have come back to the national team much stronger and technically better.
And you have to reward good performances as well.“We could not select everyone but we look at where we can fit them in the makeup of our squad to add value. That’s what I have said to them all along. I have told them to raise their hands and they will be given opportunities.”Ellis said the Hollywoodbets Super League is not where it is supposed to be but it has improved significantly.
