Emva kokungaphumeleli kweBanyana Banyana ukuya kwiMidlalo ye-Olimpiki yaseParis ka-2024, uPortia Modise umemelele ukuba kugxothwe umqeqeshi oyintloko uDesiree Ellis.
Iphupha leBanyana Banyana lokudlala kwi-Olimpiki liye latshabalala emva kokubethwa ngo 1-0 kumdlalo opheleleyo idlala neNigeria kwiCAF Women’s Olympics Qualifiers.
Kumdlalo wokuqala, iNigeria ibethe uMzantsi Afrika ngo 1-0 e-Abuja ngoLwesihlanu odlulileyo phambi kokuba idlale ngokulingana eLoftus Versfeld Stadium ngoLwesithathu ebusuku.
Iintshatsheli zeWAFCON ka-2022, iBanyana, zazabalaza ukuzibeka phantsi iiSuper Falcons, ezazivuyela ukuhlala phantsi zifunxe uxinizelelo.
Ngeli xesha, ukuphulukana neNigeria kuthethe ukuba iBanyana yaphoswa yimidlalo ye-Olimpiki yesibini ilandelelana emva kokungaphumeleli ukuya eTokyo ngo2020.
Nangona iqela eliqeqeshwe nguDesiree Ellis liphumelele imbasa yegolide ye-WAFCON ngo-2022 kwaye lenze lafika kumjikelo wamaqela le wama-16 kwi-World Cup ye-FIFA ngo-2023 , u-Portia Modise uthi iqela lifuna umqeqeshi omtsha.
UModise ukwavakalise ukuba impumelelo yeBanyana Banyana kwiWAFCON ka-2022 ibangelwe kulwakhiwo olwakhiwe ngowayesakuba ngumqeqeshi uVera Pauw.
Ethetha no-Andile Ncube kwiMetro FM, owayesakuba ngumdlali weBanyana uModise uthe, “Eli lelona qela lihlwempuzekileyo laseNigeria ndakha ndalibona ukusukela oko ndikwibhola ekhatywayo yabasetyhini.
“Sifuna uhlolo olufanelekileyo bajongwe kakuhle kwiHollywoodbets Super League; sinetalente. Kufuneka bachongwe ukuze badlalele iqela lesizwe.
“Umkhethe kufuneka uyekwe kwiqela lesizwe, kwaye kufuneka abadlali bakhethwe ngokufanelekileyo, hayi kuba benomkhethe.
“Xa bendibukele umdlalo izolo, besifuna abantu abanesakhono nabadlali abakwaziyo ukucinga; kwakungekho nto kumdlalo neNigeria.
“Ndicinga ukuba umqeqeshi wethu wenze kakuhle; usibeke kwisicwangciso, kodwa ngoku sifuna umntu onesicwangciso sesibini kunye nombono omtsha.
“Ngaphandle kokungahloniphi, ndicinga ukuba sifuna umqeqeshi onokuthi aqhubele phambili iqela ngoku. UDesiree wenze kakuhle, kodwa kufuneka sitshintshe ngoku. UVera Pauw ubeke amalungiselelo kunye nesakhiwo sokuphumelela iWAFCON.”
