The head coach of the South Africa national team, Hugo Broos has indicated that his team is feeling no pressure ahead of the final two matches in the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
According to the experienced gaffer, Ghana is trailing his side and has have the pressure on them instead.
“It’s better that you’re in our situation than be in a situation of Ghana because there’s enormous pressure if you are chasing. If they don’t win against Ethiopia [on Thursday at 3pm at Orlando Stadium] it can be a disaster for them,” Coach Hugo Broos said at a media conference at Soweto’s Dobsonville Stadium.
The Bafana Bafana boss added, “So, the pressure is with them. But that doesn’t mean our game against Zimbabwe will be easy because if we don’t win and they win, they’ll be on top of the group. I really prefer the situation we are in now than that of Ghana and I hope we will keep it this way until the end.”
Ghana on Thursday, November 11, 2021, will take on Ethiopia in the last but one match in Group G of the African qualifiers.
On the same day, South Africa will take on Zimbabwe at the FNB Stadium.
