Senong names Amajita squad for Cosafa Cup

“We have had a great camp and believe we have selected a balanced yet attractive team. The technical staff deliberated throughout the weekend on a few players, and this was a healthy headache to have as we did final assessments,” said Senong.

“We are looking forward to a great tournament where we will be facing oppositions with different styles of play. Mauritius play long balls many, while the Mozambicans like to keep it on the ground, and of course, the Egyptians are known for the counter attacks and aggressive play.

“We believe we have a good team, but have no intention on putting pressure on the players because we are working on a bigger objective.

“We want to be able to give all 20 players a run during the tournament, and we will emphasise to them on a daily basis that they must enjoy the challenge at hand,” added the Amajita coach.
