Williams defends Broos over Bafana shock

Captain Ronwen Williams has come to the defence of head coach Hugo Broos after Bafana Bafana’s recent shock draw against Andorra.

Bafana will be looking to for an improved performance when they take on The Desert Eagles on Tuesday after an embarrassing 1-1 draw against lowly ranked Andorra last Thursday.

Broos has since come under some criticism for selecting a relatively new line-up that included first national caps for Patrick Maswangwanyi, Tapelo Xoki and Mlondi Mbanjwa.

"Yes, we are disappointed that we didn’t win. We wanted to win.

"Coach (Broos) said he was obviously giving new players a chance to showcase their talent, so they can put their hand up but the most important thing is to win. So that was the only disappointment we’ll take from the game – that we didn’t win.

"We felt we were strong enough to win, we created so many chances, but once again, it’s one of those games where the coach had his reasons for his approach of giving a lot of players (a chance) to play. So, we don’t need to look too much into that game.
