According to Ramasike, Broos is contradicting himself by making such claims.

“But this guy, if he is not ready now, then when is he going to be ready.” the Mamelodi Sundowns legend told KickOff regarding Broos’ comments.

“It’s better if he goes abroad and learns, that will help him become a much better player. When is he going to be ready if he is not ready at the age of 21?

“How can a person be not ready to play overseas when at the same time you are selecting him for Bafana Bafana to play on the international stage against the very same talent that is based overseas.

“Let the boy go there while still young if he fails, he fails that’s fine, but don’t deny him that chance. If he fails, it’s fine, it’s a learning curve. Internationally the likes of Erling Haaland are young, but they are doing well.”
