South African goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs believes that coach Gordon Igesund is the key to a Bafana victory over Nigeria on Sunday in their final CHAN group game at the Cape Town Stadium.
Speaking to Soccer-Laduma, Josephs said, "We arrived in Cape Town feeling a bit hassled by all the negativity about the tournament, and that we were only a locally-based side.
"But immediately Gordon changed all that and he got the spirit of the guys at an unbelievable level.
"We are all behind each other and we believe we can win this. The spirit is great, the self-belief is there, and we all support each other. The big thing is the confidence we have in ourselves and the coach.
"I've seen how he analyses the opposition, then it's amazing to see what he has said just unfold in the game before your eyes.
"He did a video session with us on Nigeria and already pointed out how we can beat them.
"We know they are a good side, but so are we and we are confident we can beat them."
