What did Hugo Broos say after the match!
I think there were a few details that made us or should I say come out of the dressing room better than we did the first half, “Just some details, question of positioning also when we lost the ball, immediately reaction we had in the first half, we had some moments that the reaction was not immediately there.
Hugo Broos said.
Second ball we didn’t have in the first half, there were three, four, five, times that a long ball from us they recuperated the ball, and the ball fell in the midfield there was a desert. Nobody was there, So, we correct some things during half time and what make me happy on this group and I said it already before, when you ask them to do something, they try to do it. And in some cases, they succeed to do it.
Hugo Broos added.
So now today, we did it immediately. There was more pressure forward. It was very difficult for Lesotho to do something, and they did something the first half but not so much but the second half, it was finished. They kicked the ball. They kicked the ball out. This is some sometimes details of positioning, and we did it very good the second half and I was very happy with the two goals, But at certain moment, you start doubting, on the post, on the post, it was like there was a wall in the goal and then we couldn’t go through. But okay, when there is so much pressure a goal has to fall and I’m happy that it fell and the second was nearly immediately after that and then you killed the opponent.
