Steve Komphela Hits Out At 'Disrespectful' Hugo Broos (Soccer Laduma)

Mamelodi Sundowns' senior coach Steve Komphela has categorically stated that Hugo Broos is respectful and lacks intelligence after the Bafana Bafana mentor ...

Komphela, who is a former Bafana coach and captain added: “National coaches have a certain tone that penetrates deeper throughout the nation. It is disrespectful and to some, it sounds like the honest truth but for others, the tone is just as condescending. Nothing wrong with voicing an opinion but please understand that this is a nation and not some cabal in a forest.

That's about the only way we can enjoy and respectable standing in world football. The man is spitting facts, whether you like it or not. The Queiroz era was a time when Bafana was in the top 30 of the FIFA World Rankings, 22 years later we have hardly done anything to improve our youth football and as a result at senior level we now languish 69th in the latest world rankings by FIFA. "Now is the time to face the real problem and the real problem of SA is that we don’t have high quality players.

Hugo Broos: Percy Tau is our best player but he has problems at Al ... (KingFut)

South Africa national team manager Hugo Broos tore into Al Ahly forward Percy Tau, criticizing his performance with the Reds.

We talk about Al Ahly which is a big team in Africa, and our best player can’t succeed there.” “Even with a South African coach who wanted him in the team, he is not succeeding. If there is an Egyptian coach who maybe doesn’t like Percy then they’ll push him out because his performances are not good enough.

OPINION | SA's broken football has zero standing to argue with ... (SowetanLIVE)

Broos has become like a scratched record with his cry for the need to have a meeting with all the coaches of the 16 PSL clubs. First we need to admit that then ask ourselves what do we need to tackle this problem? Like our administrators, our coaches are not talking to and empowering each other. Greed and selfishness, like we see every day when its comes to our politicians, is part of the problem in SA football. But football leaders are not the only ones to blame about the state of the sport. If the answer is no then it means we have to find better leaders elsewhere. There's also an issue of who has the ultimate word and power between these two organisations — and that doesn't help when certain matters come to a head. But everything starts with the fact that Safa does little to find sponsors to sustain these junior teams. So I'm glad that a high-profile figure of Broos' stature has added his voice on where we are and what needs to happen in our football. Take, for instance, the issue of how Mamelodi Sundowns have been dominating the game in SA professional football. And the truth that Broos was telling when he said the standard of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and players it produces is appallingly low is nothing new to some of us who've been following our game closely for decades now. But, probably because our names and occupation are not at the level of Broos, few people pay attention.

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos caused a massive uproar on Tuesday when there are no quality players in South Africa.

The biggest problem is that we don’t love ourselves and we don’t believe in ourselves. He was vilified in some circles for mentioning what was obvious before he even started the job. All those players are playing in big clubs like Fiorentina, Sevilla, PSG and we don’t have those quality players in Europe,” he added.
