toyot V more call is cash it is good

part by was betting it is good times.

so. Za South Africa 4 Namibia nil good

day for South Africans D dupy defeating

Sean Strickland in the UFC for the UFC

middleweight championship of the world

so baana baana of course making South

Africans happy as well in this it means

that they go on to play the last game

with either maybe needing a draw really

to be number two in this game definitely

or if you go for a win who knows you

might even be number one in the group

we'll see if you lose you could qualify

still as one of the best number threes

was a breeze really for South Africa

they got a penalty very early on in the

game a welld deserved penalty after that

Namibia disintegrated they crumbled

Under Pressure we saw jayen Adams in the

last 2 minutes of that game as well a

couple of fresh faces as well M May

given a chance tasana scoring two goals

PES redeeming himself scoring a penalty

after missing it in the previous game as

well analyst what do you make of the

game

sir F to fix African football

yeah

yeah

compliment

well think comp

of um unfortunate

from what Han hanon

yes I think is

unfortunate unlucky because there was a

bit of a challenge 5050 situation

between

Hima and

the change comple of the

game I think them theyed too much

especially too much

indiv I think they wanted to impress

Scouts here Tech poor

too manys

especially compliment to him I

think strong mentality as

well as well

goalkeeper goalkeeper I think is making

so many

mist

and then second go I think

indivual yeah could finish I think

Sundowns combination I think the

influence of Sundowns we need to be

honest has played the part today I think

about seven eight players

ATS the understanding

the combination was much

better I think you

can't sitting not going forward te think

it was on not much

of yes International you do that PS but

there you know one bad one bad pass they

punish

you I think they didn't play

pretty and exactly that happened inia

not communicating at the South

Africa good ball

ESP good finish

from good

technique second go goal I think

indivual for

him this is what we need number 10 the

ball be arant on the ball

and good go from

and

I

think but didn't

get totally different yeah today they so

many lost the dangerous are uh they

can't even defend as a team last didn't

play pretty but they work as a team

work for each other to each

other

so so compliment to

[Applause]

number spectator you come to the field

we change game it did exactly I think

these guys they can't play of the of the

good pass from and good finish so

didn't come to well deserve to South

Africa yeah this is what we want but I

wish let's have more of management in

terms of keeping the

more more

OPP people are we we need to be honest

absolutely I agree with you for some

reason I think performance against was

like a once in a lifetime performance uh

I think they understood the

occasion we never won in the afcon and

this is an opportunity for us and I

agree with you that the penalty that

they considered g game um it changed

everything whatever they planned W

against itun that they scored late in

the game with four minutes left so they

planned to drag this game until the end

and maybe they were going to unleash or

change things technically but they

didn't expect within 12 minutes they

were going to concede the goal so I

think for them a lot of things um

changed and they were Exposed Of course

they were they are they are clearly

weaker players that's why I thought and

I felt and I said we must beat Namibia

because they are the weaker team in this

group we must beat them I was shocked

that they beat Tunisia I thought maybe

there's something surprising that they

bring to the table as well there's

something interesting about the approach

baana here when they were leading 2N up

at in the first half we felt that

Namibia is still playing the better

football like keep the ball on the

ground uh pick your head up find your

man and then space receive the ball do

the same thing again it was receive the

ball look up try to find someone like 30

yards away from you

now today and of course Hugo Bros

doesn't believe in that kind of football

anyways today they they changed

long B you mentioned something about

game management there was a point where

they needed

to um circulate the ball make Namibia

chase the ball so how do you balance

that

um you

know how do they then make a proper

balanced adjustment between playing it

long and being able to keep it within

themselves

yeah they play too much

especially this C I mean playing the at

theer they playing on the field the

goalkeeper having so

many

theep going bring it back to him and

then

it's wrong I think one slight mistake

they punish them today I think to

balance that you can build up at the

back reason build up at the back you

want to

the so up without

situation behind us and then let's play

that ball at the right time when they

build up looking down and obvious short

pass without any one maybe stretch one

long ball M pass strch defense build up

build up Play Short sh until opponent

and then that's not the balance when you

play you must

have they play and then one long B

behind defense long it's a long pass and

then to finish

so

yes it happens when you lead maybe but

when you looking to this is a tournament

Point sort of it's about points yes you

you play pretty this are naal team you

don't have time to Comin andu but

tellers you play at the back but you

must able to

watch behind them

when they come one pass

behind so today I

think at all what they did they play

maximum football is more or

less because of his was under pressure

he went back to his own philosophy this

is what I want one maximum football we

played back

1212 second we punish them and they itif

because butly

speaking not much of management but

compliment but when you get a position

that is so clever and

opposition in terms

of position we can

improve all right last one for Tunisia

you saw them against Mali um they

playing B baana um just a quick one what

did You observe about the Tunisia do you

think this boys can at least get a draw

against last

[Music]

I I'm saying I

mean yes Mo namia they beat tunia but I

had I think they had so five or six

changes yesterday watching the

game they so many changes and

we attack and attack both side and in

terms of ball position I could go to say

50/50

and something else one two movement of

the something

else they can maintain so it's going to

be

difficult I don't give South

Africa number three probably yes they

can get but is not going tun is going to

be there you go on Wednesday we'll come

back of course at 7:00 to watch that

game for me my calculation was always

very easy you're going to lose against

Mali you're going to lose against

Tunisia they are the better ranked teams

against you but when you meet a team

that's slowly ranked then you have to

beat them that's exactly what bafana

bafana did they scored four goals

whatever happens from here you can find

a way to manipulate that game to get one

point against Tunisia then you will be

number two in the group you don't have

to calculate you don't have to do

anything if you don't lose one point

then you'll be number two in that group

we'll find out of course on Thursday if

you on Wednesday if you can be able to

achieve that if you lose then we have to

calculate to go to who else is number

three what is the goal difference n n n

n but if you go to jesia uh get a point

then you'll be good you'll be number two

in that group we'll find out on

Wednesday uh way in the group TV is

times world forting thank you very much

for watching

us
