The Belgian is on the verge of moving a step closer to guiding Bafana Bafana to qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup if avoiding defeat against Ghana on Sunday.
"Scoring more would have been a good thing for us. One goal might be dangerous if Ghana score one, it's going to be difficult.
"The players must be prepared to face intimidation tactics when they arrive at the airport. Intimidation in the streets, intimidation at the hotel.
"I think the coach has overachieved in a short space of time because sometimes you cannot play well but take the three points. That's more important.
"Congratulations to the coach, no matter if the team didn't play at their best, he gets results.
"The players need to forget about the financial bonuses and need to grasp the concept of patriotism and fight for a place in the next round.
"Only after qualifying for Qatar then they can think about bonuses. But we have a committed young team, so I don't think there's anybody there who can talk about bonuses.
"We need to play our game. The mentality of going to Ghana to play for a point is very dangerous. We need to go with the mentality of winning the game.
"Football is not difficult if a player focuses and follow instructions. They must do it for the country.
"I'm happy for the country, you know with all these problems of load shedding, at least now people can be happy for something."
