The Citizen (Gauteng)

THEY SAID IT . . .

-

“I am not one to duck questions, but when you have just seen the national team win 6-0, against whichever opposition … I watched Nigeria play against these guys [Seychelles] and they didn’t look bad. Nigeria scored a wonder goal, a set play and one goal from open play. We must have carved out 10 or 15 chances from open play and we were deadly on our set plays. And the first question I get is a negative one, I really don’t understand that. Why do you need to ask such a negative question and put it in such a negative way?” Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter got angry when asked in the post-match press conference what he would take from SA’s record 6-0 win over a “mediocre” team on Saturday. "I have learned that the biggest stars and the greatest players are the most humble ones, the ones who respect people the most. There are three criteria: respect, humility and lucidity. My mother has always told me that to become a great football player, you must be before all a great man." Kylian Mbappe in an interview with prestigiou­s Time Magazine, who put him on their cover.
