AFCON 2019: South Africa captain, Hlatshwayo sends strong warning to Nigeria
Hlatshwayo warned that his team have a clear mission in this year’s AFCON, adding that they want to achieve another big feat by knocking out Gernot Rohr’s men from the competition.
South Africa knocked out the host nation Egypt at the round of 16 over the weekend while Nigeria defeated the AFCON holders, Cameroon. “Our preparation for that game was intense, we knew we had to give it everything we had, and that paid off,” Hlatshwayo told the Bafana Bafana media. Hlatshwayo added: “We know playing them will be tough, but we have a clear understanding of our mission, and we’ll give it our all once again. This is an opportunity for us to regain trust from the fans, to truly discover our identity and have confidence in our capabilities. As captain, I’m confident in the team and what we can achieve.
