Santana gets down to business

Bafana Bafana coach Joel Santana gets down to Fifa Confederations Cup business tomorrow when he names a locally based squad for the international friendly against Zambia.
The match, which has been termed a ‘practice’, will give the Brazilian an opportunity to see how far players have progressed before a more serious clash, against Chile, in Polokwane during February.
It is expected that overseas players, including the likes of former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Rowen Fernandez, will be available for this match.
Fernandez has been sidelined for the past four-months after rupturing a cruciate ligament he suffered while playing for his German team in August, has recovered and is back in action in the Bundesliga with Armenia Bielefeld.
Santana could give Ajax Cape Town’s Mabhuti Khenyeza a call-up for the match against the Chipololo Boys in view of his current hot form in the Absa Premiership scorers.
According to national team spokesman Morio Sanyane, Safa are endeavouring to find another opponent for Bafana on February. The opponents are likely to be from Africa.
Bafana are also penciled to play Norway in Rustenburg during March.
La phrase en gras pour ceux d'entre nous qui sont moins anglophones dit que selon le porte-parole de l'EN (Entendez bafana Bafana), Morio Sanyane, Safa (South African Football Association) cherche une adversaire pour Bafana en fevrier. Cette equipe pourrait etre une equipe africaine.
Est-ce qu'Omari et cie peuvent-ils saisir la balle au bond? Il semble que dans le programme de Djalma, il est prevu une etape en Afrique du Sud. En outre, l'equipe locale sudaf n'est pas mal du tout. Elle peut offrir une bonne competition aux Congolais pour la preparation du CHAN. Surtout que les locaux sudaf se battront pour impressionner le coach bresilien pour une place a la coupe de la confederation en juin.
Pour ceux qui me liront, parlez-en a Omari et cie.
