Pitso Mosimane student Rhulani Mokwena not pleased with Hugo Broos on Thembinkosi Lorch & Themba Zwane's AFCON snub insisting 'you have to put emotions aside'
According to MC Alger coach Rhulani Mokwena, Broos was wrong to exclude the duo from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) squad since they could have delivered.
“One of the greatest lessons that coach Pitso [Mosimane] taught me in a football match and if you really need to succeed as a coach, there are certain times when you have to put emotions aside and make sure that you have your best available players on the pitch," he told SNAWA.
“The success of the national team and happiness of the country and millions of people is more important than certain aspects and you need your best players, sometimes you have to overlook certain aspects to make sure that the team succeeds.
“It was the same thing with Morocco. They did this with Hakimi, he has a lot of issues happening off the pitch, well documented. He had an injury with PSG but they were able to say we need our captain, our best player in the tournament and they were able to move in this direction," Mokwena added.
