However, Broos has defended the attacking midfielder, insisting that Maswanganyi hasn’t had enough opportunity to prove himself. “I don’t think Patrick did have already a good opportunity, he was always coming in the game,” Broos stated. The coach acknowledged the difficult circumstances of the Congo match, adding, “And it was not so easy to come in the game in Congo, because we suffered in that game.
The Bafana Bafana coach called for patience, stating that it might take a few months to fully assess whether Maswanganyi can step into the pivotal role vacated by Zwane. “Have a little bit patience, and maybe in a few months we have to say no or maybe yes, we will see,” Broos concluded.
