It is highly unlikely the Bafana Bafana players will turn on the swagger with some tiki-taka soccer under Molefi Ntseki and the national team coach intends to maintain the status quo.

Ntseki does not intend to employ the"tiki-taka" style of short‚ quick passes that was synonymous with Spanish powerhouses Barcelona under former coach Pep Guardiola and prefers to rather focus more on substance as he attempts to stamp his authority‚ personality and signature on the senior national team.

“I believe if you have a tactically disciplined team‚ if you have a good structure‚ variations in movements and you disrupt the opposition it will help‚" he said. "You need players who can win the game for you at any given moment. You have Thulani Serero who will always sneak in‚ Lebogang Phiri who is technically good‚ Percy Tau who is very arrogant in possession and I think it is more like that.”

“If you look at the team that we played in Ghana‚ nine of those players played against Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations‚ except for Bradley Grobler‚ who came on for Lebo Mothiba‚" he said.
