On Saturday, South African national soccer team, Bafana Bafana, head coach Hugo Broos expressed his hope that his players can emulate the passion and intensity of the Springboks, South Africa’s national rugby team, when they face Ivory Coast in an international friendly on Tuesday. This follows a lackluster performance in their last game against Eswatini.
Broos believes that the quality of the players is not in question, but rather the mentality and underestimation of the opponent. He is confident that the team will be more focused in their upcoming game, citing the Springboks’ performance in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals against France as an example of the passion and intensity that his team should strive for.
The Bafana Bafana coach believes that his players have a lot to learn from the Springboks in terms of their approach to the game and that they must always be professional and give their all in each match.
