The Bafana head coach felt that Tau was affected by all of the criticism he received at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Percy Tau was ‘mentally broken’ after the Africa Cup of Nations, according to his head coach Hugo Broos. Picture: Weam Mostafa/BackpagePix

Tau missed a penalty in the opening match against Mali and while he scored a spot kick against Namibia in Bafana’s next match, several other missed chances in the tournament saw the ‘Lion of Judah’ bear the brunt of plenty of social media attacks. Tau came in for criticism after the AFCON in the Ivory Coast even though Bafana exceeded expectations in finishing third at the tournament.

“I called him a week later and we talked and I told him I would not call him up. He said he wanted to come but I said ‘don’t come, stay there, until everything is calm’. If he comes and plays a bad game it will start again, that is why Percy is not with us. It is enough after the AFCON, he will be ready in June And we will see a fresh Percy Tau.”
