Cairo — Stuart Baxter can be a bit of a whinger, but ahead of Bafana Bafana’s opening match against Ivory Coast here on Monday, the SA coach sent a rallying cry to a squad that has the potential to be one of the most solid combinations to have been at a recent Africa Cup of Nations .
Among these are that Bafana’s only two withdrawals have been Keagan Dolly’s injury and Rivaldo Coetzee’s no-show. That is unusual and a huge positive going into a major tournament. Without becoming overoptimistic, because it has to be remembered SA are very much still underdogs to group heavyweights Ivory Coast and Morocco, Bafana at their team hotel have appeared relaxed and, dare one say it, quietly confident.
“And I’m sure they are going to leave everything out there in every game. We’re playing against the best teams on the continent. The way to not be intimidated is to pay them the respect they deserve, but don’t fear them.
