Bafana Bafana head coach, Molefi Ntseki has revealed his game plan ahead of Thursday’s crucial AFCON qualifier against Ghana’s Black Stars at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The gaffer tells the media his team will try to get an early goal in a bid to unsettle the Black Stars in their home soil.
“We have to be very careful. Starting on the front foot can get us an early goal and unsettle Ghana. But at the same time, if you give Ghana too much possession, they can easily hurt you,”
“They are at home‚ they will have the support and confidence. So, it’s a game where one has to be very cautious.”
The former SA U17 coach commenting further, noted that his team will be wary of the attacking threat of the Ghanaians and will employ a cautious approach.
“So, we are very careful in our approach. Our tactical strategy has to be one of being protective‚ but at the same time we should not be dropping too deep and giving Ghana possession‚ because they can always be dangerous.”
Bafana Bafana will play the Black Stars in matchday one of Group C.
The Black Stars will travel to Sao Tome and Principe for the matchday two fixture in the qualifiers.
