The Bucs star looks to have discovered his mojo back, given how impressive he has been for the Sea Robbers and even how he played for Bafana in September. Now, Broos has revealed what he told the former Mamelodi Sundowns star and what he expects from him.
Mamelodi Sundowns have already played a third of their league games (10) this season, with most other clubs not far behind. This means there is more than enough data to look at which players top the charts for various key attacking and defensive categories across the league. And as you will discover, there are plenty of surprise Top Dogs in the PSL this season.
The Glamour Boys' players once again find themselves frozen out of the South Africa national team and this can be credited to their dip in form. Another grim situation could be witnessed, seeing no Amakhosi players in Morocco for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals in December.
The Buccaneers wideman has not been the same player who took the Premier Soccer League by storm last season, but the national team coach retains trust in him. The Belgian coach explains why he has not lost faith in the 20-year-old who is pushing to go to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals with the national side.
The Buccaneers are enjoying an incredible run of form that has seen their coach write his own piece of history to be counted among some of the iconic former tacticians of the club. This is despite the former Fulham defender still being in the early phase of his life at the Soweto giants.
The 20-year-old winger has been struggling to replicate the form that saw him being the player who took South African football by storm in the last two seasons. But his coach says he has a plan to protect the South Africa international who has been linked with a move overseas. The wideman is in a period where he has to prove wrong those criticising his form.
The Buccaneers are looking to make it nine wins in a row across all competitions as they welcome the Rockets to the Orlando Stadium. Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has made several changes to the team that faced Lioli over the weekend.
The 20-year-old missed last weekend's CAF Confederation Cup match against Lioli FC and the Buccaneers recorded a big win in his absence. That brings into question about his importance in the team and his contribution this season. Now battling fitness issues, the Transnet School of Excellence graduate is in a season he has to defy some odds staked against him.
The Sea Robbers turn their focus to the league just days after emphatically booking their space in the second preliminary round of the CAF Champions League. However, the Bucs are about to face one of the most in-form teams in the PSL this season, as the Rockets prove to be a hungrier and more ambitious side.
Two teams, one point apart, both riding waves of momentum as the Buccaneers and the Rockets collide in a midweek Premier Soccer League clash that promises fireworks, grit and a battle for maximum points. With the Sea Robbers fresh off continental triumph, Orlando Stadium becomes the launchpad for a high-stakes encounter.
Two days after sealing their place in the next round of the CAF Champions League, the Buccaneers must swiftly refocus as league duties beckon. Their upcoming clash against TS Galaxy promises fireworks, with both sides chasing consistency in a season marked by highs and lows.
The former Morocco international is delighted with what he has seen from a couple of his new players and has committed to helping them hit even greater heights.
The recent performance has increased the fans' hopes that indeed their club can go on and challenge for coveted titles, including the PSL and CAF Champions League. Bucs will be looking to extend the winning run when they host TS Galaxy for a league match on Tuesday at Orlando Stadium.
Before the second-leg encounter, reports emerged that the tactician had referred to the Premier Soccer League side as an overrated club. In what was seen as an act of revenge on these sentiments, every time Bucs scored, Abdeslam Ouaddou celebrated towards the Lioli technical area.
Two goals scored in either half saw Davids' side register a crucial victory, which means his second stint with the Moroccan side has started in a way he would have preferred. Apart from winning, Raja managed to keep a clean sheet under the new regime led by the South African.
Analysing the coach's tactics and the output by every player that gets minutes to play, the legend has predicted the Soweto giants will be a force to reckon with this season. Bucs have a good start in the continental campaign and in the league; their momentum has picked up despite a slow start.
Struggling Chilli Boys managed to add a point to their tally, but it was not enough to lift them out of the relegation zone. The Maroons, on the other hand, were unable to end their winless run, meaning they are just above the red zone.
