Ex-Kaizer Chiefs coach blasts Broos' selection and Bafana Bafana friendly opponents - 'Who is Andorra? Very weak nation, better competition playing our own PSL teams'

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/bafana-bafana-vs-andorra-preview-kick-off-time-tv-channel-and-squad-news/bltbe15494fd39e805e" target="_blank">Bafana secured an opportunity to play against Andorra</a> in an international friendly match in Annaba, Algeria on Thursday.The European team is ranked 164th in the world by Fifa while Hugo Broos' men are 58th and that does not impress Khan.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Andorra is not a team that has won anything in like forever," Khan told <a href="https://www.snl24.com/kickoff/sanews/bafana/farouk-khan-surprised-by-hugo-broos-selection-for-andora-matches-20240320" target="_blank">KickOff</a>."They have never really won anything, they are a team with the lowest win rate ever."It was a good opportunity for us to blood in our young players, to give them a chance and taste of international football.""I don't think we should be calling some of our senior players, this is an opportunity to blood in some of our youngsters," Khan continued."Ronwen Williams he's done so well during the Afcon he needs a break, you can't play him against Andorra."Andorra, who is Andorra? Andorra they are a very, very weak nation when it comes to football.""If you look at their history you will be surprised how weak they are," he added."I think playing against one of our very own PSL teams could have given us a better competition than Andorra."

WHAT KHAN SAID

Khan continues, insisting Broos should have been biased towards young and upcoming players instead of relying on his experienced men. "I think we should use this opportunity to give all these younger players a chance in the national team. It could have been wonderful," Khan said."I don't know what he is thinking [Hugo Broos] because all around the world when they play smaller countries they use their second, third choice squads, and I have seen this happening many times."Because it's the only chance for the younger players to show what they are capable of.""Such games are a good motivation for the younger players to show a national team coach what they are made of," he added."It's also a good opportunity to use our players who might be playing in the Olympics because remember those players also need to be given proper preparation."The link between the Olympic team and the senior national team should be very close."

AND WHAT MORE?

Bafana coach Broos might argue that he has included a number of players who were struggling to make it into his squad and the Andorra match will be the perfect opportunity to assess them.The Belgian took with him to Algeria the unfamiliar national team faces like Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, Khanyisa Mayo, Tapelo Xoki, Goodman Mosele, Grant Margeman, Patrick Maswanganyi, Iqraam Rayners, Mlondi Mbanjwa and Elias Mokwana.They will be trying to impress Broos and turn themselves into Bafana regulars.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It is to be seen if Broos will have fringe players dominating his starting line-up against Andorra.The Tricolours have only ever won seven competitive matches in their history and their squad is made up of mainly amateur players.It is the perfect time to rest his regulars ahead of Tuesday's match against Algeria.
