After Ivory Coast, South Africa faces France in a friendly this Tuesday in Lille. After the goalless draw against Guinea on Friday, Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos was pleased with the team's overall performance. But he intends to make a difference with the team that will present themselves at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Tuesday against the reigning world champions.
For France, it will be a different team. There may not be 11 different players, but it will be a different team, Broos told the press conference. As I pointed out before this tour, I'm going to give all the players a few minutes, and we already started that against Guinea on Friday. Against France, there may be a few fewer changes because the opponent is much stronger. There will also be new players like Nyiko Mobbie and Lyle Lakay. They will play against France because I want to give them a chance to show their qualities.
What I saw in the game against Guinea was that they (the team's players) gave us what we would have liked to see from them. They are also good within the group, and their mentality is very good. It didn't feel like they were there for the first time with me in this team, "Broos added.
Meanwhile, France coach Didier Deschamps has confirmed that Kylian Mbappé is fit to face Bafana Bafana. The Bondynois took a fitness test on Sunday. He missed Friday's match against Ivory Coast after suffering from an ENT infection.
