Hugo Broos has criticised the quality of football in the DStv Premiership, though the Bafana head coach also rather strangely chose to use Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu as examples of teams finding it too easy in the South African top flight.Broos blanket-praised the performances of Sundowns, AmaZulu and Pirates in this season’s Caf Confederation Cup and Caf Champions League, but while his comments on the local league rang true for Masandawana, they jarred in terms of Usuthu and the Buccaneers.
Broos did say that he was happy to have been afforded more time to watch local games this year, having come into the job fairly raw in his knowledge of South African football. The Bafana coach has named a 23-man squad for friendlies against Guinea in Belgium on March 25 and France in Lille four days later.
“Every week I am somewhere in a stadium looking at games. We also look at Wyscout on the internet where you can see games of players abroad. I have spent a lot of time watching games and not only me also Cedo and Helman . “So we are much better prepared than seven months ago. Then I had to ask Helman ‘is this player or that player good?’ So we have done a lot of work but it was worth it.”
