“For me, another one I have to watch for the future is Mofokeng. This is a guy with potential,” Hugo Broos said as quoted by Soccer Laduma.
“So, when you see that from a young guy from the team of Orlando Pirates and then you can only be happy. That’s as the coach of a national team because we saw what happened on the AFCON.
“Those were also not boring games. From the first minute, everyone is playing like they’re playing for their lives.
“They (Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs) go for 100%. Maybe more so and when you’re not used to doing that in the PSL it’s very difficult to do that on that international level. That’s why we need to raise the level of PSL.”
