Bafana Bafana skipper Aaron Mokoena today said he and his team mates are hungry for a win in Freetown, but warned it is going to be very difficult. However, they are capable to contain the home team.<\/p>\n
The team assembled this morning at 10:30 am in Fourways and the Mamelodi Sundowns left back hadn’t showed up in time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI missed the last match in Freetown where we lost 1-0 due to injury, but there is no way I will miss this one,\u201d Mokoena said.<\/p>\n
He reported to camp on Sunday with a slight groin strain suffered helping his English Championship side to a 2-2 draw against over Middlesbrough on Saturday. \u00a0But reiterated that he will play in Freetown if selected by the coach, but there is no way I am missing this trip. \u00a0This is one game I am really looking forward to,\u201d said Mokoena, who is nicknamed Mbazo for his fierce tackling and no-nonsense approach to all his matches.<\/p>\n
The no-nonsense defender will lead his Bafana Bafana to travel to Freetown on Friday. The Portsmouth defender said it would be a different Bafana that travelled to Freetown on Friday from the side that lost 1-0 in 2008 under Brazilian coach Joel Santana.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe travel with a new spirit, new defence and attack from that disappointing 1-0 loss in 2008. We are determined to give a much better account and get a result this time,\u201d said Mokoena.<\/p>\n
