Pitso keeps youngsters in mind

Pitso keeps youngsters in mind

Posted: 6 August 2010 Time: 10:59 am

Pitso Mosimane says there is a role to play by the youngsters in his Bafana Bafana team.

The Bafana head coach picked his first squad yesterday since taking over from Carlos Alberto Parreira, sticking with the tried and tested and snubbing the likes of Andile Jali and Kermit Erasmus. However, ‘Jingles' says in his future selections he will keep the youngsters in mind.

"I was not going to be able to make a lot of changes, because I have been in the office for only 22 days, so I didn't have time to make a lot of changes," he said after naming the squad of players comprising mostly of those who did duty in the World Cup.

"It is also important not to make the changes from the team that beat France 2-1, because as we all know the League here at home and in Europe have been on off-season, so I was not going to select players I haven't seen," said Mosimane.

Quizzed over the issue of blooding in the youngsters, Mosimane was quick to allay the fears of South Africans that perhaps his plan could be flawed if he sticks to the old faces.

"Be patient, they (youngsters) are in my vision," he says. "We can't make changes that will suit everybody. It is one step at a time. We still have lots of friendly games, Cosafa and Chan games too… we know Andile Jali is part of the set-up. He went with us to Brazil for camp and there is Thulani Serero, Kermit Erasmus, Darren Keet, Siyanda Xulu, Daylon Claasen and so on.

"They are all in my vision but we won't just throw them in at once," Mosimane said.

It's a fact that not everyone will be satisfied all the time. My view is that it wud have been a gud idea 2 atleast have a youngster or two in every camp and introduce them gradually. But it wud be unfair to judge him based only on his first squad barely a month after the WC.

i just feel that pitso should have atleast included three young stars who were with the team at the previous camps for the benefit of development looking at brazil 2014

Atleast you could have included
Vilakazi junior(Tjali),
Serero,Xulu and Erusmus.
Mdledle is not better than Xulu.
that's where you are
missing the point mr Mosimane.
I thought that you will prove me wrong
by excluding TEKO MOSIMANE.

To all the pie-city fans
How do justify Klate 's selection.

Before the end of this year Masango & Nale will be in the BB team... so get used 2 the idea ya Ncgobo

The Erasmus guy u are making noise about he failed @ an early age in Europe... George Lebese is far better player than him...!

Jali has heart problems
Xulu suffering 4rm depression after Barca saw him useless
Keet ke bench warmer @wits coz of Chansa b4 joining Aces recently
Claasen yet to play 5 minutes for Ajax
Seroro: potential
Mokotjo: potential

Khosi4___ am sure u all know by now LIFE!!!
