Bafana Bafana legend Teko Modise on Afcon elimination: There was no sense of urgency from the players, Broos also blundered against Cameroon
Teko Modise has put blame on Hugo Broos for Bafana Bafana’s elimination at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Bafana midfield general is scathing in his assessment of the national team’s display in Morocco.
"Cameroon score on the 46th and 47th minute, your first changes are at 62 minutes, and you are still playing with five at the back, and you are just against one striker,” he told SuperSport TV while analysing the 2-1 loss to Cameroon which knocked Bafana out of the 35th edition of the continental spectacle.
"I think there was no sense of urgency from the bench, after conceding that second goal, that’s when you are supposed to make those changes.
"Those changes, yes, later on they became profitable, but imagine if he had done them earlier, because now you are 2-0 down. This is a knockout phase; it’s not the group stages anymore.
"Now you are in the knockout phase, you are conceding with five at the back, you take out Nkosinathi Sibisi late in the game when you still have five at the back.”
