Mosimane, Leal and Komphela - will this work?


Is this going to be tasty? Pitso Mosimane, Jairo Leal and Steve Komphela - this is the South African Football Association (SAFA) ingredients. What was the thought behind this? Is it to shut the South Africans, after failure to make the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea?

Is this where Bafana Bafana technical team was lacking? My opinion; this is a disaster ingredients. Pitso and Leal are from the same breast (Carlos Alberto Parreira), they think more alike, they have similar philosophy. But our new assistance coach is different to the two.

He like hardworking players, players who can run all 90 minutes, attacking players who have no problem with defending. The question now is will he manage to change Pitso and Leal mind set? I don't think so, how can a part timer change two full time coaches mind, no chances in that.

I don't see Pitso and Leal changing their Bafana Bafana players selection. One wonder if Steve is restricted, meaning he only consult with Pitso every time he wants to say something tactical. Because if he's not we will here of two camps one with Leal and Pitso, the other camp with Steve. With all that said I wish them luck and hope they bring success to our country.

  1. Hah, you hit it right on the note there, strange that I asked the same question yesterday when I wondering about his appointment as the assistant coach. I didn't know about Leal but since I follow your blog, I was able to read this post from within mine. This is a joke. SAFA does not care about the opinions of SA Soccer fans. http://sapremiersoccerleague.blogspot.com
