"Tomorrow's game is surely a special game for me. If you win an AFCON with a country, then a part of them stays in your heart, but tomorrow I can't have mercy for them because I am the coach of South Africa now and I want to win the game, Belgian Broos told reporters Saturday in the Moroccan capital. They are a very good team, a young team, and they have a good fighting spirit and mentality,"
"I would have preferred to face Cameroon in the final maybe now is a little too soon, Broos said. I was curious to see Cameroon with all the changes in their team, and I have been surprised. They did not have much preparation time, but the coach has done a good job, and for us it will be a difficult match."
Hugo Broos leads South Africa into the AFCON last-16 against Cameroon in Rabat, meeting the nation he led to the 2017 title. Broos acknowledges emotional ties but insists on showing no mercy and prioritizing victory as South Africa's coach. He praised Cameroon's youth, fighting spirit and mentality and warned his team must be at its best. Cameroon earned seven points in the group despite a chaotic build-up, including the late sacking of Marc Brys and appointment of David Pagou. Broos preferred a final meeting but expects a difficult match and criticised being forced to train at Morocco's national facility.
