Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has conceded that his side faces a stronger team in Ethiopia ahead of the much-anticipated 2022 Fifa Qatar World Cup qualifier on Saturday.
The former Cameroon tactician has set a target of six points from the away and home ties against Ethiopia which, if achieved, would put Bafana in a strong position in their group.
“We have to be careful with that, but on the other side it is about what we are going to do when we have the ball. The former Belgian international who played at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, says it is very important for his charges to maintain control of the ball throughout the game.“If you don’t have control of the game you will suffer for 90 minutes [and] once we have control, then we can do what we like to do.
Broos is aware of the opponent's strength but says Bafana should aim to get the maximum points on Saturday, warning that it might be difficult when they visit Ghana next month.“So now there are two occasions, on Saturday and then in one month [play] in Ghana.
