Jakarta (ANTARA) – South Africa national team coach, Hugo Broos, admitted that his team was unable to compete in strength and speed when they lost 0-1 to Canada in the last 32 of the 2026 World Cup. According to Broos, the difference in energy and tempo of play was the main factor that stopped Bafana Bafana from progressing in the tournament.南非队在补时阶段丢球并以0-1不敌加拿大队，其2026年世界杯的征程被迫终止。布罗斯评估说，他的对手整场比赛的表现都更好。这位74岁的比利时教练称赞加拿大队的比赛被认为能够快速发起进攻。 On the other hand, the South African players were considered to take too long to make decisions so they had difficulty keeping up with their opponents’ play. “你可以看到加拿大队的比赛速度有多快，包括在发起进攻时。与此同时，我们有时需要花很长时间才能做出决定，”他说。 Broos again highlighted the quality of South Africa’s domestic competition, which according to him has not been able to prepare players to face the demands of modern football.他承认自己曾多次提出这个问题，但并未得到足够重视。 “We have to improve on things like this. I have often said this in South Africa, but no one believes me. Modern football is not only about technique, but also power and speed. If you don’t have that when facing a team that has it, like Canada, then the match will be very difficult,” said Broos.尽管被淘汰，布罗斯仍然对球队取得的成绩表示赞赏。 He believes that South Africa has exceeded expectations by successfully qualifying for the knockout phase for the first time since returning to the World Cup after a 24-year wait.
