Quotes Obviously, they’ve got speed upfront, they’ve got height too, so we will need to deal with that, We will need to be prepared to deal with those players. I have played with everybody in this team except Phillip Ndlondlo,I know most of the guys in the team and that will be good for us. I think most of us have actually played together, when you look at it, especially at the national team level. It is going to help our team tremendously. I think we just need to finish off the (scoring) chances when it comes our way. Compact Cup, a lifeline for action-starved keepers Ricardo Goss and Itumeleng Khune, September 2022,IOL by Herman Gibbs Obviously, it (the ban) was a bitter pill to swallow. It’s not nice to be suspended for so many games. But I am trying to work on my emotions. I guess this is something that is part of the journey, I have to think about the team. So, going forward, it’s something that I need to reflect on. But I am trying to take a lot of positives from the setback. I simply need to learn from it and move on going into the future. At the end of the season, I would love to have won some silverware. It would be a good thing - for me and the team. The break has broken the momentum that we had. But I think that we needed the break because we were exhausted after playing week in and week out due to the catch-up games. I think that it was really tough for us, It would bring a lot of positivity to everything that has happened this season Clever Boy Goss learns tough lesson on handling emotions, September 2019,IOL by Mihlali Baleka We have players who have been part of the national team set-up for a while now I don’t think we have lost two games in a row since I have been here. Obviously, the coach’s words also carry some weight. He knows what to say and when to say it, so we draw a lot of inspiration from him. The team-building exercises we hold after every loss keep us moving forward. We approach the next game wanting to win, without dwelling on the previous result. The way we started was certainly not how we planned I wouldn’t say it’s a culture shock, but the level is obviously higher than at Afcon. The competition is challenging because every team has a strong reputation. We would like to get a win and put the previous loss behind us That’s how we’ve been playing, especially if you remember our performance at Afcon. But you know, we still have to pay our school fees at some point, I think we all know that football is a game of mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes cost you points We learn and move on. We aren’t blaming anyone; we are a team that sticks together. Just because we lost a game doesn’t mean we suddenly need to change our approach. The group vibe is back, and we are excited and ready to go again World Cup 2026: Goalkeeper Ricardo Goss backs Bafana Bafana to bounce back against Czech Republic, July 2026, IOL by Mihlali Baleka He has been great for the national team, and because we know him on a personal level, I think we will continue to support him long after the World Cup. If you look at the coach’s tenure, I think his progress has been phenomenal – something we haven’t seen in a while. He’s helped us qualify for the World Cup and secured a bronze medal. The criticism he has been receiving is simply unjust External links Category:Living people Category:1994 births Category:Soccer players from South Africa
