BROOS DESIRES TO TAKE THE SQUAD TO AFCON
Coach Broos is going to use the two clashes to prepare for the 2023 AFCON campaign.
He has made it clear that he intends to lead Bafana to the continental championship that Cameroon will host.
“There are important games in March, so those two games [friendly games against Mozambique and Angola] are also important.
They are not friendly games, but to me, they are not. There are games that have to be prepared for like any other game,” he told the media on Wednesday.
The mentality for Broos, heading into the games against Mozambique and Angola, is to win by all means.
By winning the two games, He believes that this will build up the confidence of the players, leading up to the 2023 AFCON Qualifier games next year.
“We would like to win two times because if we win two times, the confidence remains.
“It is very important that we have that confidence for the game of Sierra Leone.
“We would like to remain it, it is very important with two wins, and that gives us the boost again for the games in March.”
However, he will have to do without several players featured in the September preparatory matches.
Nkosinathi Sibisi, Innocent Maela; Sphephelo Sithole; Mihlali Manyambela; Lyle Foster; Terrence Mashego; and Thibang Phete are all ruled out through injury.
