“The mentality is different. That’s because of the players we have. Those players know they’re coming to the national team and they’re honoured to be here, and they’re hungry.

“I saw it from September when we played [friendlies in Mbombela] against Mozambique and Sierra Leone. There was a difference in mentality.
“And I think now if we were to play Ghana [who Bafana lost out to by goals scored and a contested penalty in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers] it would be a different game than what we played nearly two years ago,” the national side’s boss said.
