Peter Shalulile under fire: see what the Namibian coach had to say about him missing the game
Collin Benjamin, the head coach of Namibia's national team, has come clean about the shooting specialist Peter Shalulile's absence from the match against Bafana Bafana.
Saturday's international friendly between the Brave Warriors and the South African team ended in a scoreless draw.
The striker for Mamelodi Sundowns was a notable missing for his nation since he is still recovering from an injury. On August 15 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, Masandawana defeated Golden Arrows 4-0, and he entered the game in the 73rd minute. The 29-year-old's hamstring was hurt.
PETER SHALULILE COULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE, NAMIBIA COACH ADMITS
Early in the game, Benjamin's team was frustrated because they were missing too many opportunities that may have significantly impacted how the game turned out.
Despite Benjamin's admiration for Namibia's performance against Bafana, he thinks things would have gone differently if Shalulile had been a member of the team on match day.
If I say that, we generated three opportunities that were visible to all. As Benjamin said in a post-game press conference, it was usually 100% chance.
THE LACK OF PETER SHALULILE FELT.
Obviously, you know that one is absolutely going to go in if you have a player or striker of his status. Therefore, you really, truly can't replace it, and it's hard to replace him.
However, the youngsters must seize this chance since they can learn from this kind of game. They would be aware that I must pass through this side and not this side in order for the goal to materialize.
Namibia, who is in Group H with Liberia, Malawi, Tunisia, and So Tomé and Principe, will play again in November when they play Equatorial Guinea in a World Cup qualifying match.
