After giving Namibia victory yesterday against Tunisia 1-0, Deon Hotto spoke at a press conference. The Namibian striker believes his team has reached a new milestone with this historic victory in the African Cup of Nations.
“Today we showed it, we fought together, we learned together, we evolved as a team and, yes, there were times when we were shaken up, but we kept a cool head – but it’s a stepping stone, there are bigger things ahead for us as a country,” said the Orlando Pirates striker.
Considered one of the least prominent nations of this AFCON, Namibia creates a surprise.
She caused a sensation during this resounding victory where she won her first AFCON match in its history.
This is the opportunity to no longer underestimate any football nation. And this, during this competition where most of the teams described as favorites stumbled.
Deon Hotto on Pitso Mosimane
The 33-year-old also said he was inspired by a message from Pitso Mosimane on social media.
For him, the South African coach narrowly clarified his vision of the game a few hours before the match. “There is a tweet I read from coach Pitso Mosimane on Sunday.
He said: ‘Football is a game of tactics and organization, professionalism and hard work,’” Deon Hotto said.
