Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos believes his side are well equipped for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations which is set to commence in Morocco next week.
South Africa will be hoping to better their third place finish at the previous edition of the tournament and recently expressed that his charges are well on schedule regarding their preparations.
“This team has experience,” Broos said as per the Star.
“So, I am not worried about that. But we will feel and see that opponents will play in a totally different way than they did two years ago.
“We are far ahead in terms of our preparations.
“The finishing touches will be done by the end of the week. If you look at teams like Cameroon, Senegal, and Morocco, they only started their preparations yesterday.
“We can’t complain. The only thing is that we don’t have three players we could count on, but I don’t take that as an excuse for why we shouldn’t perform at AFCON — certainly not.”
