WE KNOW WHAT TO CHANGE – MKHALELE

“We all know that as a country we should not be where we are. We deserve more than that. But if we continue to work together then I believe that we will achieve our goals.” assistant coach Helman Mkhalele said.

“The biggest challenge from my observation‚ is that what is happening at Bafana is a true reflection of what is happening at club level. There are many aspects that need to be addressed at club level. Some of them is that when you look at our players‚ they have got the talent but that talent has never been helped to make sure that players go out there and use their talents without any reservations.

“When you look at Bafana’s players they have the talent but they lack that fighting spirit that comes from within each and every player. Those are some of the things that I feel need to be addressed at club level so that when the players come to us it becomes easier to deal with them.”
