BAFANA BAFANA: HUGO BROOS QUESTIONS THE DSTV PREMIERSHIP
South Africa, who have failed to qualify for a third-consecutive World Cup tournament, beat Mozambique 2-1 before a 1-1 draw with Angola last week.
According to the Belgian mentor his national team players battle to cope and thrive in what is higher competition.
“People are angry when you say that the level of PSL has to go up. Those players are not used to playing at this level with this quality…three games in three days,” Broos said via the Sowetan.

“The tempo of this game was much higher than the tempo of PSL games. The intensity was high. You saw how those guys [the Angolans] defended…yeah this is football, it has to be like that.
“It is what it is. I only have players five times a year. Increase the level of PSL on the physical aspect as well and then the players will be used to the high tempo like the players in Europe who play every three days…they never get tired because they are used to that.

“Players were not fresh enough. Even after Thursday’s game, some players were complaining about fatigue.
“It was up to the players to convince me. We will only see in March whether they remain with the team or not but what I can say is that I am happy that we had this camp…it was very important to have it,” the Bafana boss concluded.
