Broos: Bafana success against Morocco result of hard work

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos says there is no secret to South Africa's success at the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast, attributing it to the hard work put in by the players.

South Africa pulled off a major surprise by beating World Cup semi-finalists Morocco in the last 16 and will now take on Cape Verde in the quarterfinals this evening. 


The veteran Belgian Broos, who turns 72 in April, is hoping to lead South Africa into the AFCON semi-finals for the first time since they finished third in 2000.


Broos says there is no reason Bafana cannot qualify for the semi-finals. 


"There is no secret, it is just how it is working. The guys know and they are ready to do everything, they are training and they are living from the morning to the evening to be ready for the next game, so it makes the coach happy when you see that. You can't have results without hard work."
